If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. Ii you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges,
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money.
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
Of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars.

A FULL PINT FOR ALL
IS SCOTLAND’S DREAM
—
EDINBURGH, Scotland, Jan. 10.—
There is indignation thruout Scot
land. The republicans have been
giving the sinners short measures of
liquor. A national investigation is
under way.
In Scotland two kinds of pint
measures have been in use. One is
called a “reputed” pint, and the oth
er an “Imperial” pint. The latter
is all that a pint ought to be. But
the “reputed” pint, it develops, holds,
in fact, less than a pint. Most of the
public houses have been using “re
puted” pints for a long time—and
the consuming public, as a whole, is
just learning how much stuff it paid
for, but never had.
Somebody has estimated, unoffici
ally that Scotchmen have been
shortchanged out of fifty thousand
gallons of real hooch during the last
few years by losing a little at a
time out of each pint.
Discovery of this tragic fact caus
ed prompt action by the Scottish
Association of County Councils.
Throughout the country the local
officials have been instructed to in
spect every measure in every public
house, brewery and distillery. All
the “reputed” pints, or other trick
containers are to be junked.
“A full pint for all!” is the battle
cry of Scotland.
Wire so fine that it cannot be seen
with the naked eye, yet having con
siderable strength, has been made by
George Taylor, a government physi
cist. The wire is to be used in sur
gery and electrical work.
With the assistance of Shirley
Baker of the Bureau of Fisheries sta
tistics have been compiled locally
which indicate that the value of fish
eries products for the Prince William
Sound district are about $7,000,000
annually. The fisheries industries,
points out the Cordova Daily Times,
contributes very laragely to the pros
perity of this region. It is felt that
the importance of the work justified
a greater expenditure by government
al agencies in the protection and up
building of the industry, and the lo
cal chamber of commerce is behind
a movement to secure more ade
quate boat equipment and personnel
for this purpose.
The fault does not lie with the Bu
reau of Fisheries. Wth the funds
available that organization has per
haps done everything within its
power. The Chamber intends, how
ever, to concentrate in assisting to
secure larger allotments for this dis
trict in order that the Bureau of Fish
eries may build up an organization
commensurate with the importance of
the industry.
It is estimated that this region will
require one general patrol boat of the
size of the Kittiwake, or larger—75
feet to 90 feet length; two 50-foot
patrol boats for the Sound; three
smaller boats for the Copper River
Delta; and a personnel of about 30
men during the fishing season. This
will probably require an allotment
of about $50,000 for the Prince Will
ian Sound district.
This whole matter will come up for
discussion at the next meeting of the
Cordova chamber, and probably some
action will be taken toward recom
mending this increased allotment to
the proper governmental agencies.
VESSEL OWNERS
AND FISHERMEN
ORGANIZE JUNEAU
In an effort to stimulate local mar
ket prices for their fares, says the
Juneau Empire, local halibut fisher
men and boat owners yesterday form
ed an association at a meeting held
at the store of I. Goldstein. It will be
known as the Juneau Fishermen’s and
Boat Owners’ Association.
Olaf Larson was elected President
to serve one year; Paul Jensen was
nammed secretary, and an executive
board of five members and three al
ternates elected. This committee is
composed of: Paul Jenson, gasboat
Dixon, John Jackson, owner of the
Ina J., Harry Larson, owner of the
Celtic, John Lowell, owner of the
Fern, and Olaf Winter, owner of the
Dagny. The alternate members, who
will serve to fill the committees when
other members are absent from port,
are Oscar Oberg, Anton Hildre and
John Kostness.
About 40 boat owners and fisher
men attended the meeting and a larg
er nuumber was represented. It is
expected that the association will ul
timately enroll every fisherman and
boat owner residing here. Paul Jen
sen, Harry Larson and Pete Oswald
were appointed as a committee to
draft by-laws for the organization.
As a means of making the Associa
tion effective, every member volun
tarily signed an agreement yesterday
to accept the decisions of the execu
tive board on any matters arising af
fecting the fishermen and vessel own
ers. This, it was said, will tend to
assure working harmony and close
co-operation necessary to achieve the
objects for which the Association was
formed.
Claiming that the local buyers in
the past have not paid prices proper
ly proportionate to those paid at oth
er markets, officers of the Association
were instructed at yesterday’s meet
ing to semi notices to all local buyers
of fresh fish that they desire a market
level with those at Petersburg and at
Wrangell, and not more than one cent
per pound under the Ketchikan market
current at the time of the sales. A
reduction in prices for ice, said to be
higher than those charged at Wran
gell, Ketchikan, and Sitka, will be
sought by the Association. A third
request will also be made, that of the
optional privilege of heading their
fish. This privilege is said to be
extended by some of the markets.
A fireless switch engine, charged
with live steam from a boiler plant
instead of burning fuel, has been suc
cessfully tested. It looks like an or
dinary engine without a tender and
does not require a fireman.
