BUY STANDARD GOODS
IIow much money do you think is
spent in Seward each year on “Some
thing Just as Good?” Thousands and
thousands of dollars don’t you guess.
Most people are forever seeking a
-bargain, and buy cheaper stuff that is
cheaper for the pleasure of admiring
their own perspicacity in trading; and
they get soaked good and plenty.
While the writer is probably a “nut”
on this question, the fact remains that
we have yet to see the man who gets
as good a bargain from new and un
tried goods that they would get in
buying standard makes and brands
And this applies from pots ana pans
to automobiles. The best is always
the cheapest. And the same is true oi
buying away from home. L nit ss yoi
can handle and see what you are du>
ing, let it alone, unless you know it is)
a “standard”. More money nas been
spent on imitations than on the genu
jne, as the better the article the more
iiuitp'ions. In every instance disap
pointment follows in the waks of reck
less buying.
One reason why living today is so
expensive is because the markets are|
filled with cheap, shoddy imitations o’
a good aiiicle, and their purchase en
courages the manufacturer to make;
more of it and the endless cycle con
tinues from manufacturer to customei
and from customer to manuiactuiei.
You cannot make pine give you the j
service of oak, nor can you get satis-)
factory results from poor goods. l’;
vou hav 4 to buy at all, get the best.!
it is always the cheapest in the end.)
“THE CHEECHAKO” COMING
_
Starting Wednesday night. January
2, Seward citizens will have an oppor
tunity of seeing for the first time
the great all.Alaska picture, “The
Cheechako.” Wherever this picture
has been shown it has excited the
widest comment. Financed and filmed
by Alaskans, with Alaskan scenery
and local Alaskans in the major part
of the cast, it has gone over big. Re
cent telegrams from the States de
clare that this picture took audiences
away from houses running pictures
just released by Mary Picktord, and
Charlie Chaplin, and that the audi
ences were unqualified in their appro
val of the first real Alaska photo mas
terpiece.
Alaskans are proud of the success
of this, their first dramatic effort, and
that the judgment of the promoters of
the enterprise has been vindicated,
goes ■without saying. The stockhold
ers will reap big dividends and Alas
ka will get more deserved publicity.
Remember the firemen’s Ball this
evening. 9:00 p. m sharp, at A. B.
hall, e.rand March at 10 30 p m. No
prizes awarded to any one not on the
floor by 1C p. m. Good music and a
goon lime assured to every one.
