SEATTLE FUR EXCHANGE
REORGANIZED INTO STRONG
FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION
—x
Alaska Profits by Henry
Wagner’s Association With
The “Exchange”
stockholder and officer of the
company. “Mike” as he is famili
arly known, has a wide experi
ence in the handling and grad
ing of raw furs. This is a valu
able esset in that it insures the
ob
shipper the highest price
tainable for his raw furs.
Under the new management
the Seattle Fur Exchange be
comes increasingly important
as a sales agency for Alaska furs
Seattle is the logical United
States port and is, through the
Seattle Fur Exchange, closely
connected with eastern markets
It can be said that the establish
ment of the “Exchange” ha'
greatly helped to connect Alas
ka and her fur products with
the great fur consuming centers
of the world. Now amply capital
ized, plans will go forward te
enlarge warehouses and offices—
in turn to attract and accomo
date more buyers. It is the am
bition of the “Exchange” t:
make it the one and only clear
ing house for furs from Alaska
and all northwestern territories
Mr. Henry Wagner’s entrance
into the business is a distinct
gain for this territory. His ex
perience covers 35 years, almost
hir- entire business career, anc
his acquaintanceship and busi
ness connections are found
throughout the world. He is and
has always been active in the
fur trade in Hamburg, Leipzig
London and New York. He ha.c
spent 12 years in Japan, China
Manchuria, Mongolia, Kamtcha
ka and Eastern Siberia. Hij
knowledge of furs, his wide ac
quaintances, his thorough cog
nizance of world markets and
conditions will combine to the
ultimate profit and earnings oj
the Seattle Fur Exchange and its
shippers.
“The outlook is bright,” says
Michael Dederer, sales manager
“Mr. Wagner is eminently suc
cessful. The new capital will help
us enlarge our facilities. More
and more buyers will be at
tracted. More and more furs will
be graded and displayed to bet
ter advantage for selection and
increased patronage. As the
market improves, the Seattle
Fur Exchange will present a
very inviting picture to buyers
as well as to those shippers whc
wish to obtain top prices at all
times.”

SALEM GOES MODERN
-x
The Portland Oregonian re
ports that nude bathing parties
in which both men and women
participate, are receiving the at
tention of city and state police
It was reported that these part
ies have been held nightly foi
several weeks with a number o:
semi-prominent persons involv
ed. The parties, bans bathinf
suits, were held in the William
ette river, near a West Salen
dance hall.
Mayhap if the Salem nudis
parties would invite the officio
(Webfooters to participate san:
bathing suit in the parties, furn
ished a bit of beer or some othe:
spirit to make the swimmer
lighter, they would not have re
Jceived the notoriety which thei
have received. Anyhow, it was i
.Salem that burned witches a
stake and perhaps another Sal
|em will burn up the bathing
suits.

MIRROR OF THE COMMUNITY
--X
Quoting from the Texas Com
mercial News, the Leavenwortll
Echo contends that a communi
ty may cover up evidence of its
decay but there is one thing that
will let the cat out of the bag
despite everything and that is
the newspaper. The Echo says a
newspaper is the mirror of the
community and if the town is
dead, its guant, grinning skele
jton will stare out at you from
! every column, from the banner
head on page one to the last
filler.
That does not mean the news
paper is dead. Some of the best
; newspapers are published in
towns not entitled to any kind
of a newspaper but such condi
tions do not last long because a
newspaper is a business enter
prise and if run at a loss, it too
must fail.
“The cost of nev/s production
is higher now than at any time
| because more is demanded of the
newspaper. The cleanest and
newsiest newspaper without ads
denotes a dead town. If the
business people are not liberally
represented in the advertising
columns of the local newspaper,
it is a reflection on the enter
prise and progress of the com
munity.”—Xchange.
MAN DARES—GETS
BURNED BY DRY ICE
“I can hold a chunk of dry
icc in my hand for one minute,”
boasted Samuel Seward, Canton,
Illinois. Friends dared him to
1 seconds Seward’s hand was
burned so severely that It re
quired medical attention. He was
unable to use the member for
several days.

FISH BITES SWIMMER
SWIMMER LANDS IT
-x
I This is a fish story with the
proof. Lawson Smith, twenty
seven, swimming off Oak Is
land, Mass., grappled with a
monster. He was bitten twice in
the left leg in his battle with the
attacker. Finally, Lawson got
ashore with a forty pound dog
fish.

The management of the Coli
seum Theatre announces that a
change has been made in the
price of admission beginning
this week. Adult, 40 cents;
youths, 25 cents; children, 15
'cents, no tax. Pal Nite admission
straight 25 cents whether you
bring a Pal along or not.

So That’s Where It Goes!
-x
“DAD, what is bankruptcy?”
“Bankruptcy, my boy, is when
you put your money in your hip
pocket and let your creditors
take your coat.”
For All Alaskans
Faith Without Works Is
Dead
-X
We have heard lots of talk during the past three years on
the depression. We have had plenty of reason to. But we can
close our ears to pessimistic chatter and we can have faith
in the strength and ability of our country to emerge vic
torious as it surely will.
E^But faith without work is <dead. We all should do our share
in each community to bring prosperity back. We can help
to do so by buying our goods and supplies at home; by em
ploying local labor so that it may be able to buy at home.
The business man and the laboring man have everything
in common. The hurt of one is the destruction of the other.
BE FAIR! BE KIND! BE GENEROUS! Be hopeful and work
-for “faith with out works is dead.”
