Life insurance is a good invest
ment. Real estate and bonds some
times depreciate and stocks fre
quently do, especially in times of
financial disturbance. But one never
has to watch the market or worry
about his life insurance. ITS VAL
UE IS ALWAYS INCREASING.

WAECHTER BROS. MARKET
IS MOVED TO TAVERN CAFE
The stock of the Waechter Bros,
meat market has been moved to the
Tavern Cafe, where Mr. Rodigkeit
will assume the roll of butcher, in
addition to his many other duties,
as proprietor of a busy restaurant
and bakery. One of the compart
ments of the Tavern cold storage
plant, has been set apart for the j
Waechter Bros, meats and other'
market supplies, and Mr. Rodigkeit
will do his best to take care of the
market’s patrons until such time
as other arrangements are made. ■
It is largely a matter of accommo
dation to the public, since it was
the intention of the meat company
/5=
to discontinue business in Nenana
had not arrangements been made
to sell from the Tavern’s cold stor
age plant. The market in the
Waechter building, opposite the tele
graph office was closed on Saturday
by Manager Struthers, who came
down from Fairbanks on Friday for
the purpose of arranging the trans
fer to the Tavern.
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the ladies of Nenana for
the farewell reception, which is to
be held at Grace church on Thurs
day eveing, in honor of Robert
Joseph Diven, who will leave for
Wrangell shortly after the first of
the month. The reception will be
public and the invitation to attend
is general. There will be a short
prograq^MlA refreshments.
