| the States, having been on the trail .
| twenty-one days, with Leonard Se^ - |

winning team of 17 Siberian dogs. Mr.
Edwards declared that the trip was
one of the most enjoyable he has ever j
taken in Alaska, Mr. Seppala being j
an excellent guide and trail compan- |
ion. In an interview with a Gate- j
way representative Mr. Edwards said
that although his district had suffered
somewhat from a shortage of water, j
the extreme length of the season al
lowed the company to work their
dredges up to a few days before
Christmas.. The company operated a ;
hydraulic plant in connection with the |
dredges. This plant was shut down a
short time in July and August, but
later resumed work again. Nearly
200 men are carried on the payroll,
and Nome benefited greatly by the de
mand for labor. By the installation
of the cold water method of thawing
ground an enormous saving was made
this season. A crew of 75 men were
engaged in driving cold water points
at 16-foot intervals and the tempera
atures of the water used varied from
just above freezing to warm.

With Home Town Buying
You live here. You make use of the public benefits of this
city. Then help pay for them—and make it possible to increase
municipal improvements.
You can’t do it by sending your dollars out of town. Every
cent you send away to mail order concerns represents so much dead
loss to the community—and no gain whatever to you on good purchased.
Your dealer sells standard goods of the highest quality —
and sells them at honest prices. Merchandise of greater merit can
not be had for any amount of money—and certainly not for less
money. You can inspect the goods before purchasing—a big advantage
over mail order buying. You can see what you are getting. You can
buy in small quantities if you wish, or you can purchase in large lots
and obtain price concessions granted bulk buyers. The goods you buy are
delivered within a few minutes after purchase is made—right into your home—
and free of delivery costs.
If you are not satisfied with purchases—or desire to
exchange goods for any reason whatever you may do so quickly ^
and conveniently.
These are a few of the buying advantages to be had
right here at home that can not be offered by any mail order concern
in°creation. You benefit yourself—then you benefit the dealer.
You enable him to continue in business. By giving him
bigger business you enable him to give you better bargains.
The profit he makes—a legitimate one—is spent right here
Thorne. Some of it is turned over to other dealers. Some of it goes
for rent. Some of it for clerks’ salaries. Some of it for taxes. It assists m
building up the v 'tire town. It helps advance property values. It contributes
to the bettermen. of schools—which your children or your neighbors children
attend. It helps put down better side-walks—and put up better public build
ings. It pays you actual dividends in development of the town— your town.
It makes the town in which you live a better town for you to live in.
It invites outsiders to settle here. It booms prosperity and you share in
t’at prosperity. r .. .
It is your plain duty — to yourself — y°yr, family your friends
— your town — to spend your dollars with local dealers.
Do it.
