BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE GOOD.
A person wl»o follows the vocation of a commercial traveler
lias about as good an opportunity to register business condi
tions in a town as anyone else, because his calling brings him
in close touch with the business men in the communities
which are on bis route of travel. This is particularly true of
commercial traveler wh “do” Alaska, for the reason that
perhaps all of them solicit business for side lines other than
their principal line, ami this naturally brings each commercial
traveler in touch with about every commercial house in a given
town.
The Pioneer has had occasion to discuss business conditions
here with a number of the many commercial men wlitrj have
been to Anchorage this spring. And in every instance, in sub
stance at least, the reph has been the same --“The iivest town
we have visited.” And a “live” lown to a commercial trav
eler means but one thine a place where be can procure orders
for that which be sells.
Commercial traveler.- are a discerning lot. T-hey are on the
go most all the time, traveling back and forth over certain
designated towns in'pursuit of business. They have opposi
tion like everybody cTe. They know, because they make it n
point to investigate and find out, the volume of business done
in a town which is on their route, lienee, when a quarter of
a hundred of these hustling fellows visit a town and all do a
good business, that town, von may rest assured, is a prosper
oils one. And that i what ha taken place in Anchorage this
spring.
Business is good in Anchorage!
Of sill the truly wonderful things in litis wonderful world war,
most assuredly the most w mderful is the morale of the armies
of the respective nations participating. Take, as an example,
the last penciled thoughts of a French soldier, scribbled on
the wooden casing of a bomb proof pit within pistol shot of
the enemy: “Mon (' rps a la Terre. Mon Ame a I)ieu. Mon
Coeur a la France.’’ Which, interpreted, means: “My body
to the earth. My soul to (!od. My heart to France.” How
beautiful and how pathetic!
We wonder . metimos if the fellow that writes all the
American notes to the nations that appear to trespass with im
punity upon American rights i getting paid for working
overtime.
Mexican bandits have made another raid on an American
town and the American government has sent another note to
the Mexican authorities.
President Wilson believe- that the pen is mightier than the
sword—besides it i- much easier to wield.
“Falsns in uno, fa! ns >n omnibus.” That’s what Mexico is.
