STEAMER FOR NORTHWESTERN
The Booth Fisheries company re
| cently purchased the steamer East
j ern Gale from the U. S. Shipping
i Board to serve as a cannery vessel
for the Northwestern Fisheries com
pany, subsidary of the Booth con
cern in the Alaska salmon industry
The vessel, which is of steel con
struction with a gross tonnage of
4,660, will be used in the transporta
tion of outfits and pack between Se
attle and the company’s Western Al
aska canneries. She was built in Ja
pan in 1919 and for the past year has
been lying in Lake Union. This is
the first large steamer to enter the
service of the Northwestern com
pany, which has operated a good siz
ed fleet of sailing vessels.

TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.
Every day you miss good news of an improve
ment in different articles of merchandise—unless
you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—of every pro
gress from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
THE BETTER A PRODUCT IS—THE SOONER
YOU WILL SEE IT ADVERTISED
