Our friend MACK GESTNER, who has had pressing engagements with most of
us, has reopened his TAILORING ESTABLISHMENT and GENTS’ HABERDASHERY at HAINES.
Mack’s got a lean and hard look lately from throwing concrete up at the new
school house. He ought to be able to throw a mean flat iron.
For the benefit of RECRUITS, who don’t know Mack and iiis work, we’ll
state that the creases he puts in breeches ivill earn the hearty approval of
the Co. Cmdr. at any Saturday inspection. It’s also veil to have thespots taken
out of your blouses and tine i^.M. ISSUE garments remodelled to fit your individual
idiosyncrasies of contour. (Those words weighs more than Mack’s irons.)

The only direct boat from the States scheduled this week is the Rodgers

There will be the usual sailings of the Tbrnance and Estebeth.
