Dr. Charles Dagget of Seward will settle up his affairs and close out his stock of Jewelry.
Dr. C. T. Daggett, in answer to
& cable, came over on the Alame
da and is now engaged in invoic
« i.
ing Mr. Stull's stock, assisted by
Adam Swan. Today will be spent
in seeing the merchants and Jew
elers in Valdez in ah endeavor to
dispose of the whole stock to one
or them. Mr. Stull has been un
der a physician's care and will
leave on the steamer Northwest
ern. He is one of the old-timers
and carried the best and largest
stock of jewelry in this part of
Alaska.
Now is
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.
If 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.
