We could make clothes
expressly for you here at home, but
a local tailor shop today is impractical
and unprofitable.
It has bo labor market from which to secure
desirable cutters and tailcrs ?
It cannot afford to install a modern plaat
desigred to reduce cost of production ?
It doesn't do sufficient business to enable it
to buy woolens direct from the mills ?
It cannot keep abreast of metropolitan styles
and workmanship.
Therefore, we send our orders
for fine made-to-measure clothes to
Ed. V. Price & Co., of Chicago.
We can take your measure the
same way we would if running shops
here, and furnish you your clothes,
made as you want them, at 50 $> less
than we could make them locally.
Won't you call today?

"I have come to the conclusion
that the United States government

fore there is much more railroad
building in Alaska," said Mr. Joslln i
Saturday. "I mean that they will
have to in some manner either sub
sidize the railroads or arrange to |
guarantee the interest on the capital
invested. In that way capital for
building new roads aud for complet
ing the roads already under way can
easily be secured.
"I have prepared the draft of a
