of confectionery that we shall ca;
ry in stock. For several month*
pas* we have been receiving sam
ples from various Pacific Coast con
fectioners, and otcr friendsi an.t
patrons have been invited to test
these samples. The decision, with
out one single exception was that
A. & K. candy was the best. Al
most every one declared "delicious.*
Having thus rendered a decision
as to wnat candy was preferred, we
entered into negotiations with A
& K. and after much correspond
ence we secured from them the ex
clusive agency in Skagway for
their products. Not only did we se
cure the agency far their package
goods, such as "Chocolate Butter
Crisp" and "Victoria Chosalotes,"
but we induced them to sidestep a
rule .n.d sell us their entire Hue
of choice bulk chocoJates.
We therefore announce that for
the tirs-t time since A. & K. have
en«erod the confectionery business,
we are the only store that has ev
er sold their chocolates in bulk
and we are proud to state tJiflt
frcm this time on you will be able
to get all varieties of Augustine
& Kyers candies in quantities to
suit yoi:r appetite and purse. ,
The price will be 60 cents per
pcur.d or fraction thereof for the
bulk chocolates, and you will at all
times be sold only that which Is
fresh. This price is the same that
you .vould pay for the same goods
if you were to step into the A.&
Iv store in Seattle.
