RETAIL STORE GROWING q
Ross Higgins Adds to an Already
Good Business Place.

The Ross Higgins company have just
completed the shelving and display of
their goods in the large addition to
their retail store on Fifth avenue. The
addition just made to the formerly COM
modious store of that enterprising firm
is twenty feet long and extends the
full width of the building. This COM
pany now has shelf and counter room
equal in extent o that of any business
house in the north. But their quarters
are yet too small for their extensive
and growing business.
when we we're having the addition
built at the rear of our store | thought
we would have all the shelf room we
could possibly require, said Mr.. Hara-
den, the manager of the company, "but
you see we have no vacant shelves. In
fact our warehouses are crowded with
goods that are not displayed.
However. there is not in Alaska or
anywhere north of the sound a larger
or better selected and displayed stock
of staple and fancy groceries than now
crowds to overlooking the long shelves
in the Ross-Higgins company's fine
Fifth avenue store from floor to ceiling.
That company is now better prepared
to handle it's enormous retail and
wholesale trade than ever in its pros
porous career.

THE PURE SYRUP.

The city papers have been dis
cussing the question of pure mo-
lasses or syrup, and we believe
that the complaint of the syrup
placed upon the market being
adulterated is we'll founded, be-
cause we believe that all the syrup
placed upon the market from the
country is bought by the city dea-
lers who work it over, improve its
color but destroy its flavor. The
writer has eaten syrup in New Or
leans and elsewhere, but no where
has he found a syrup to compare
with the pure unadulterated syrup
as we have it here in the country.
Few people, even in New Orleans
know of the real flavor of pure
cane syrup.
Mr.. Albert P. Resweber, of this
parish, who is an expert in syrup
making, has been supplying some
persons with his syrnp, and the
demand for this syrup, which is of
the purest kind, and which cannot
be surpassed in flavor. is increa-
ing SO rapidly that he is now FILL
ing thousands of glass jars and
quarter, half and one gallon self
sealing cans.
People who eat this pure, una
dulterated syrup will not have any
other kind, and all strangers who
eat this syrup at the hotels in the
country will tell the difference be-
tween the pure article and the one
worked by the jobbers.
If this pure syrup was properly
advertised and introduced upon
the market, the demand for the
canned syrup would be perhaps
greater than the supply, which is
almost unlimited, and it would be
a very profitable industry.

complaints are right there should
be crossings at each end to facili-

the side walks after they leave the
bridge. Now that we have a sys-
tenn of side walk, this should be
