Fruit and Vegetable
Season
FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES is the hardest
kind of goods to handle in Alaska at a profit and special
care and knowledge of how to select and 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,

Sole Agent for Reliance Canned Goods

It !? Dangaroas to Neglect a cold
How often do we hear it remarked:
"It's only a cold," and a few davs later
learn that the man is on his back with
pneumonia. That is of sucb common
occurrence that a cold, however slight,
should not be disregarded. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy counteracts any
tendency of a cold to result in pneu
monia, and has gained its great popular
ity and extensive sale by its prompt
cures of this most comaion ailment. It
always cures and is pleasant to take.
