savage ferocity and intense deter

tance* from one important position
which the Germans now hold.

THE NONPAREIL, Nome, Alaska.
Gentlemen:—Owing to conditions in the Hat Market, we are
compelled to advance the price on all felt hats.

hats, and we most sincerely urge that you change the retail

WE TELL OUR CUSTOMERS
THE TRUTH.
As far as we know the truth.
II candor and straight-forwardness is going to deprive us
of an individual sale we may safely conclude that the sale better
be sacrificed than that the chareter of our store be placed in
jeopardy.
There is but one basis upon which the relations between
the merchant and customer may be safely placed and that is
upon the foundation of confidence.
One lie may not destroy that foundation but it develops a
fracture that require many more lies to conceal that the struc
ture is bound to disintegrate.
We must pay a certain market price for our goods and
we must sell same at a little more than what we pay for them
to be able to maintain our structure effliciently and to pre
serve same in order to aid in the present and future develop
ment of our community.

these counters sustained “very large

already reported of the importance
