A WORD TO YOU
At our Seattle office we have opened a buying department for
the benefit of the Alaska trade.
We solicit the accounts of individuals, firms and corporations
desiring closer connections for buying and selling. The service
rendered is direct; we, at every step, exercise close supervision
over all transactions, thus assuring accurate and prompt atten
tion.
We are READY, WILLING and ABLE to buy right, to ship
right, to insure right—to attend to all matters as your personal
agent. Your enquiries and wants will receive our immediate and
mdst courteous attention.
WRITE US—there is no obligation. We are just the business
connection that the Alaska Trade has been looking for in the
buying of mining, cannery and fishing supplies, dry goods, gro
ceries, cigars and tobacco, drugs, rubber goods, furniture, house
hold sundries, electrical goods, gas engines—in fact, anything that
grows or is manufactured.
We are also willing and apxious to develop a market for all
Alaskan products. Get in touch with us, giving full particulars,
and your goods will be sold right.
j DRUG PRICES IN NEMAN A
I ARE AS LOW AS ELSEWHERE
Drugs and other articles carried
in stock by first class drug stores
can be purchased in Nenana at
prices that will compare very favor
ably with prices for similar articles
in other towns in Interior Alaska,
j including Fairbanks.
Mr. A. D. Thompson, proprietor
, of Nenana’s only drug store, informs
| The News that he buys all his goods
' direct from the wholesalers in the
j States and buys as cheaply as any
other druggist in the country. He is,
therefore, in a position, to sell his
goods as cheaply as others, and does
so. All that he asks is a fair margin
of profit, which any merchant is
j entitled to receive.
In addition to being moderately
priced, the drugs and other articles
carried by the Thompson Drug store
are fresh, a large part of the stock
having reached Nenana on the last
boats.
...Not only drugs, but also pre
scriptions of all kinds are obtainable
at the Thompson Drug store, and as
cheaply as can be supplied by any
store in Fraibanks. The prescriptions
are filled by one of the most ex
perienced prescription druggists in
the territory.
The stock of the Thompson Drug
store includes many articles suitable
for holiday gifts, such as high grade
candies, toilet articles, fancy box
stationery and a variety of other
articles usually found in first class
drug and stationery stores. Holiday
shoppers will find it to their ad
vantage to visit the Thompson Drug
store, where the prices are right,
the stock fresh and the assortment
large.
