Paul Barnes, representing M.
Seller & Co. novelty house of Se
attle, was in town on Monday.
He admits that life for the travel
ing man whose territory includ
es Alaska has a few more thrills
than his brothers outside exper
ience. Mr. Barnes was minus a
large number of samples, and
this is how it happened.
At Haines, finding himself be
hind his schedule, he hired a
launch to take him to Skagway.
As a storm wa» raging, the
!
owner demanded extra com pen
j sation before venturing forth.
They fared well enuf until attemp
ting a landing. When they, did
try, the wind, and waves assisted
them, throwing them against the
dock with such violence that the
sample trunks were jarred loose
and thrown overboard. They
were later recovered; but most
of the samples, which included
Christmas stock wrere complete
ly r lined.
