BECK & WHITE DISSOLVE
PBBTHEBSHIP, NORTHERN
As is announced publicily in another
column of this issue of The Gate
way the local firm of Beck & White,
of The Northern, has mutually agreed
to dissolve partnership, John C. "White
having purchased Mr. Beck’s interest.
The name of The Northern in Sew
ard, is known throughout the Terri
tory, not only as a popular .business
establishment but also as being the
highest class and the largest billiard
parlor in Alaska. It has long enjoyed
a splendid reputation and business
and under the able guidance of Mr.
White, a veteran at the business and
an Alaskan sourdough, his many
friends predict continued prosperity.
Andy Beck, when seen today, said
that he has not yet definitely decided
just what his future plans will be but
for the present will remain in the
city. A. Peel, well known and popu
lar resident of Seward, is assisting
Mr. White in conducting the business.
