Are You
Successful^ ?
If you are not successful—who is to blame? You
notice all around you successful men—don't you?
Many of them have had no better opportunities than
you—some of them not as good. The successful man
avails himself of his opportunities. The unsuccessful
man does not. One of the opportunities that make for
success is a Bank Account. Have you one at thi8
Bank? Try it for a year. Then note the progres
you have made.
A Bank Account is the Ladder by which
many men have mounted to Success.

REINERT WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL
AFTER FIRST OF NEW YEAR
For some tjme past there haa
been a persistent rumor-that Al
bert Reinert -would mov§ his store
frcn its present location to the
new buil'ding- at the corner of Sixth/
Aveim® and- Broadway.
Tc.day it was l.eapned that it
was his intention to motve Jnto the
naw store buildilng, but that tie
raov-fr would not he made'until after
th ? firr" of the new year.
Owing to alteration® in the or
igin.'! plans of the buildLng, where
by the floor space will be • almos*
doubled, and a great many addition
«1 improvements made and'changes
Jn the plans as at first accepted,
♦he building cduld not he'completed
for the proper arrangement of Mr.
Re in er''s large stock so -as to have
it iu readiness for the Christmas
trade, so an agreement haS' been
reached between Mr. Jack Ander
son,, who :is the 'ownea- of • the
building where Mr. Reinert is 'at
present located,'whereby he-will be
uerm'tted to rematn until after th.e
first c" the year. I

the Banir of Alaska., who owns thei
uew building, when seen today
stated that when the building was
all iu readiness for* occupancy, it
would be second to none to the'en
tire Territory aa a store bundling.
He sail' that he wag'much, gratified
when he learned that Mr. Reinert
had made arrangements tq remain
iu the old quartetrq durtng the'holi
days, for it would bq almost impos
sible, as hp undertood "it, for Mr.
Reinert to-get his big new stock
properly displayed for thq Chirist
ma8 trade. 1
Juft what the interior plana for
tlie new building will be, has not
