The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
ff you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

Taken all in all the outlook never
ooked heller. Although Valdez
s quid, it's not the only, place,
»s there is I tie same general de
ircssion ail over until Ihe presi
lential aspirants are chosen and
lecided upon. Ho from a promis
ug standpoint Valdez outranks
hem all on account of having
uime of llie advantages menlion
)d, which no other town in Alas
ka will have I his year. The CHIT
s about oil a paying basis again,
ind look at the new stamp mills
u'dcred, ho there will also be a
l»ig demand for mining men. The |
road commission, which lias al- 1
way* done its best for Valdez,
again ask for liberal appropria
tion*, and it looks as though, if
All theao expectations are realiz

from other places to carry on Ihe
work.
Bringing this to a close, not
from an advertising standpoint,
it's fair for you to know Ihe Big
