PROGRESSIVE MERGHART
IT SIND POINT HIS
MODEL LITTLE TOWN
Captain Arthur Mellick, head of
the large mercantile establish- |
ment at Sand Point known as!
Grosvnld’s, has accomplished some !
;wonderful things at Sand Point; j
T! \ only from the standpoint of!
.business but those things which!
make for better living conditions I
for the entire community and he is '
still keeping at it. He is assisted!
by Mrs. Mellick. a wonderful help- I
mate and a charming young wo
man.
Sand Point now has the reputa- \
lion of being the finest town out I
west and ii is probably that this!
assertion is correct; at least if it I
is not it is a certainty there is no j
other which can excel it.
One sees a neatly laid out town j
site, with lawns dotting the land
scape and board walks to every I
home; electric lights, running!
water, modern plumbing, a tele
phone system, a small clump of
spruce trees and a few cottonwoods
exceptionally fine buildings which
could hardly be excelled here in
Seward; a splendid wharf and a
large warehouse.
These are but a few of the high
lights during a brief visit while the
mail steamer Starr lies in port dis
charging freight and is ample evi
dence of what a sailor can do who
quits the sea and takes up his life
ashore, putting to work those earl
ier lessons gained upon the bound
ing main.
The crowning item, however, of j
the small community, is the mod- ;
ern general store, not so much!
from the varied line of good grade
articles carried in the stock, but the j
up-to-the-minute atmosphere; the j
neat general appearance of the i
stock on counters and in the ‘
shelves, the cleanliness, and orderly :
method of arrangement, the smell I
of fresh paint and clean floors.
Directly adjoining the store and ;
almost a part of it Captain Mellick j
is just now completing a new post
office in which the equipment is i
complete to the last detail.
It is one of those places where
the owner can look around with
pride and show to visitors with en- I
thusiasm. Practibility. common !
sense and ample use of muscle is !
the answer.
The Kuskokwim is the second
largest river in Alaska
