HOLIDAYS ARE COMING
Just as a reminder—Holiday time
•will soon be here. Thanksgiving,
then Christmas—and only a few
•weeks away. Preparations are the
better part of expediency in these
cases; and the local public, men,
■women and children, who prepares
early will be assured of a happier
holiday.
The Gateway calls attention to the
fact that the local stores have larg
er and a more varied display of
stocks of merchandise and holiday
gifts than ever before. A good bus
iness for the merchants means gen
eral prosperity for the town of Sew
ard. Forget the mail order cata
logue and patronize the local stores.
Leave your holiday purchase money
in Alaska.
PLAIN FACTS.
Sometimes a powerful picture is
necessary to drive home a serious
situation. The average man or wo
man does not realize the fact that
out-of-town business • sharks are to
day swallowing up many Alaskan
firms, or, rather, driving them out
of business.
How? By sending through the
mails alluring descriptions of so-call
ed "bargains;” by claiming that they
know our wants better than our own
merchants here in Seward. Of course
these claims are absurd, because our
very health and comfort, depend on
the neighborhood firm with its quick,
friendly, painstaking service.
Our local business men, who are
constantly studying the needs of this
community, deserve our patronage
because their prices are fair, their
goods are honest, their service can
not be excelled. The mail order
house, thousands of miles away, can
not possibly offer us the same ad
vantages; nor can the irresponsible
peddler—here today and gone to
morrow—who knocks at our doors
with questionable merchandise and
questionable business methods.
The merchants of Seward — our
neighbors and friends—prove their
faith in us when they invest large
sums of mone\ in their establish
ments and stock them with high
grade merchandise. Let us show
ourselves worthy of that faith; let
us all patronize these progressive
merchants; for not only do they serve
| us loyally and helpfully, but they of
j fer us the best values obtainable to
day,—IT PAYS TO PATRONIZE SE
WARD PROGRESSIVE FIRMS.
