Ketchikan, April 9? Injunction
prcceedinx.4 were inslltuted at Ju
i eau by John R. Heckman against
tho Tongnss Trading company, where
in it is alleged the latter company
is constructing their new conereto
tul.'ding at Ketchikan some five In
ches into tho street. It appears
from the pleadings that the plain
tiff spent several thousand dollars
in securing tho widening of the
street, and now finds that the de
fendant is crowding their new pro
perty on this ground.
As a man grows older, he takes better
care of his clothes, and he is a
lot better satisfied with thorn.
THE service of this store is not
?f ? uimm
confined to young men. Any
man of any age can be well-fitted,
and conservatively dressed in these fine
Hart Schaffner & Marx
suits and overcoats. Now is the time
to see them.
