nr npHE same sturdy pioneers who twenty-five years ago formed the firm of Brown & Hawkins are still guiding the desti
- -|- I nies of the present Brown & Hawkins Corporation, as president and vice-president, respectively. During the past
“ ' quarter century our firm has cateyed to the wTants and needs of the Alaskan Public in a most efficient way; always striv
ing to improve the service that wp are rendering. In addition to the local wholesale and retail business we have built
up an extensive mail order business. To extend the latter and give greater service in this direction, we issued our first
merchandise catalogue consisting of 110 pages in 1923. The 1925-26 catalogue is now being printed and will be ready
(for distribution about December 15th. This new catalogue contains numerous illustrations, descriptions of merchandise and a
thousand and one worth-while facts and informations.
This Catalogue, being the only one of its kind published in Alaska,
will be mailed free to all upon request
.The ever-increasing importance of Seward,as the natural base of supplies for Southwestern and Interior Alaska, due to its
geographic position has been the main actor in deciding our corporation to discontinue our Anchorage Branch and to con
solidate our total resources and efforts at Seward. In the future our Seward store will carry greatly increased, and more com
plete stocks in all departments, in order to .properly take care of the steadily growing volume of business offered. The establish
ment of a separate wholesale branch, apart from our retail business is receiving our serious consideration, as well as the acquisi
tion of independent transportation facilities. This accomplished we will be in position to render a far greater service to the
public than we are able to at present.
In addition to caring for the wants and needs of the local family trade, which we prid,e ourselves, receiv
tion, we are giving our utmost consideration to the constantly growing Fishing, Mining and Fox Raising
es our particular atten
and General Mail Order
business.
