1f THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDISING)
Mail order concerns de
mand cash in advance. They won’t
take a chance. They won’t trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are ivorthy of it, he will extend it
glad’y. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor Yon
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financiallymust resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It’s not just. It’s
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By eveiy reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They don’t
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldn’t
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.

Danish Court Overrules
Internment Without Trial
(By Associated Press)
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 25.—The re
cent action of the ministry of jus
tice in ordering interned, without
further trial, a prisoner who had
served four terms for immoral con
duct, has roused a demand for more
specific legislation dealing with this
class of offenses. The Superior court
of Copenhagen ruled that the minis
try of justice had no authority un
der the law to impose internment
without a trial, and ordered the man
released and compensated to the
amount of 1,200 crowns.
The case created a profound sen
sation throughout Denmark and nu
merous prominent persons have been
outspoken in their approval of dras
tic action with regard to offenders
against public morality. The author,
Olga Eggers, in an open letter de
clared that “the whole people ought
to send the ministry a vote of
thanks.”

Journalism, While Attractive,
Is Nerve-wracking Says Rrit.
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 26.—“Journalism is
a nerve-wracking profession,” Lord
Burnham told teh guests at a News
paper Press Fund concert.
“Although our profession,” he con
tinued, “has a great deal of attrac
tion superior to any other, it in
volves a vast amount of wear and
tear. There are very few who do
not suffer from it. Sometimes, look
ing back at the years of the war, I
am surprised that we were not brok
en down by the anxieties and re
sponsibilities we bore. Those anxi
eties and responsibilities may not
be recognized so much in Downing
Street as we know them in Fleet
Street. You know the stress and
strain we went through in our dif
ferent capacities to serve the Com
monwealth to the best advantage in
its hour of desperation.”

Prohibition Aids U. S.
Efficiency, Say Welsh
Tinplate Manufacturers
(By Associated Press)
CARDIFF, Feb. 25.—Prohibition
has increased the efficiency of Amer
ican workmen by 20 per cent., says
a report by Sim and Coventry, Ltd.,
tinplate manufacturers, on the state
of the Welch tinplate market in
1924. The report adds that this fac
tor must be taken into consideration
if it ever comes to clear-cut compe
tition between the American and
British tinplate workers.
“It is fashionable in some quar
ters to laugh at prohibition,” the re
port continues, “but this calculation
seems to suggest that, rather than
a laughing matter, it is a factor of
very real importance.
Free State Makes O’Higgins
Lawyer Without Examination
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Feb. 25.—A distinction
without precedent in the history of
the British or Irish bars was con
ferred recently upon Kevin O’Hig
gins, Free State minister of justice,
who without the formality of an ex
amination, was called as a barrister,
that is, given permission to plead
in the Free State courts.
Mr. O’Higgins at one time passed
the examinations required of solici
tors, but never was admitted to the
legal profession.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
