Have you ever stopped to con
sidered t'ae various elements which
go toward the making of a city?
Oiiu of the most important units iu
tar butldiug of any substantial and
'hrifty community is tbo question of
keepiiv local commerce in our own
m:d-1.
!'i.-iuess lives aud expands only

metropolitan basinets atmospTiere.
Our stores are stocked with the
very best goods oa the market. Out'
stores are manned by experienced
busiatss m-.;, who are here to reu
der you a service. Courteous sales
men are willing to show you the ■
article; you wish to purchase. You
hav: i e opportunity to investigate
and examine the article before ths
sale is completed Ix" the article in
stock is not satisfactory the local
m"rch.>!.ts are taly too glad to
mak-j special order for you. Why
no' keen all of Ssagways traUo at
home?
Mail Order Business
Tilt mail order house pays no- j
tLiug (or tue maintenance of our
city, it does nothing to make our
population stable—at best it only
seuds to you, ou cash payment,
sciue .irti.le, which !u the main, is
iuferi;; to the article purchased ia
your own stores. You have no ^
chauc.- fcr the inspection of the
>v ires before they reach your des
tination—they will not extend you
credit—they care not about the [
trend • affairs i.i our local com
munity.
Tiu local ruerchatt is a very vit

ordei houses is tikicg from him I
his just rewards. lie htlps you in 1
,i tho i-and way#. He maintains ^
into your social life You become
i::t£ar t- ly acquainted with him. If

:t tin- same price is he not de- J
sfvis.j; of your patronage. Think
i* over—the nest time you take j
dow« the musty old catalogue, j
read t ie attractive description of j
ing of purchasing—then think of
your local merchant. Bo sincere
with yourself and give him a square
deal. That's all he wants, by giving
him a square deal we foel assured
'hat our local trade will be stini
lated, our merchants will be more
prosperous, our cify forge ahead.
TOURIST TIIADE
Skagway, the garden spot of
Alaska, has the reputation of be
ing ;ht mos* beautiful city In Al
aska. People will flock to our
port 'Lis coming summer from all
parts of the globe. It behooves us
to make preparation for thi9 moving
title of summer tourists.
How are we to live up to ex
pectations and make each tourist
thoroughly feel that our city is ex
actly as represented. Can we not
make conditions so favorable
that each tourist will want to pro
long his stay in our city?
Courteous treatment by every in
divid-M! is necessary for the wel
coming of the tourist. Merchants
she uld see that employes are well
iutormed about Alaska. Be ready
an J willing to give information and
a helping hand to our visitors.
At this time of the year every
business house should take an in
dividual pride in its appearance.
Stores should be placed In orderly
si.ape and an atmosphere of a busy
li".le city should surround the
busiuess house.
Let us make it a banner year
fi r Skagway.
When a man hands over to hi3
w ife the deeds of his house, it may
not be o much his desire to give
her a handsome present, as to get
hi., property where tho creditors
can't levy on it.
