Yours for a BIGGER AND BETTER IRROS ^OMPANY “Quality Candies” “Better Beverages” I I j At a meeting la*'t winter which iwas presided over bv President Humphrey of the Federal Trade Commission, the representatives of the Fur Trade Industry, SO percent of which was represented, agreed to abandon the use of false and misleading names for manufactur ed furs in advertising, says the Am erican Game Protective Associa tion. It has been the practive for : many manufacturers and dealers to use any name they might con | sider suitable or attractive and that j would tend to help sell the goods. (The public is entitled to know what it is buying and should not be sold (“beaver”, “mink” or “seal” which is 1 in reality rabbit, house cat or muskrat. That the fur industry has agreed to discontinue this sort of misleading advertising is to its credit- and will be appreciated by the public. Neither is it likely that the fur trade will be unfavorably affected. The agreement entered into at 'the conference above referred to included the following: In describing a fur the correct name must be the last word of the description, and if any dye or blend j is used the word “dyed” or “blend led” must be inserted between the 'name of the fur simulated and the itrue name. Thus “Hudson Seal” I would be correctly designated as j “Seal-dyed muskrat”. I All furs shaded, blended, tipped, l dyed or pointed must be described accordingly, as: “Black-dyed Fox” of “Pointed Fox” In referring to a country or sec tion in the name of a fur the cor rect country of origin must be used, and trademarks must not be, by in tent or otherwise, hiisleadlng or capable of misinterpretation.

SUBSCRIP TIONS TAKEN. Schallerer’s Alask Shop. Magazine Writer Gives Interesting Alaska Geography ! One or more misstatements con j cerning Alaska would seem to make ! little difference but now and then they are so ridiculous they are in teresting. Editor Charles F. San ford of the Hyder Weekly Herald one time of the Nome Nugget grows caustic concerning a story in the True Story Magazine which is | fantastic in the extreme in the author’s absence of knowledge of j things or geography in Alaska. To imake it more pointed, the author |was awarded a $1,000 prize for t story which is reviewed by Sanftid :s follows: The title of this fantastic tale is ‘‘Both Sides of the Story.” In so i far as it deals with Alaska, the | yarn is fiction of the most fanciful | type, although apparently based on ! a recent Alaska incident involving ! the accidental shooting of an Alas | Iran woman. Its mot amazing fea ture, however, it its protrayal of 1 not only colossal ignorance of Alas ka on the part of the unnamed author but also of still more I amazing absence f knowledge of 1 Alaskan geography on the part of the editor who accepted the tale as a ‘‘true story” and the judges who selected it for the $1,000 prize award. Briefly related, the story deals with the adventures of a doctor’s wife who left her home in a fit of pique, caught the first train out and journeyed on the same identi cal train all the way to Juneau, dis daining such trifles as steamships and in total disregard of the hun dreds of miles of ocean and the total absence of all rail communica tions between Alaska and the States. Then along comes the doctor husband in search of his wife and | also lands in Juneau.
