Fruit and Vegetable

kind of goods to handle in Alaska at a profit and special
care and knowledge of how to select aud pack goods is a
life study. As each year is added to our experience we dis
cover former defects in handling this line of goods and this
year we are better prepared than ever before to supply the
northern trade.
All orders intrusted to me will have my personal at
tention. YOURS TRULY, .
