visitor yesterday, having made a trip

devoting much of his time to this
branch of the business and it is to the

highest market price and the money
can be secured at the local bank if
the deal is made. In case the furs are
not sold they are returned to the
owner, express prepaid. Mr. Goldstein
can also save Alaskans money on hav

guarantees the best of workmanship

same patronize a local industry.
