At the corner of Second street and
Washington avenue Walter G. Reyn-
olds conducts the largest grocery and
meat establishment of Union City. He

cupy the first floor, and the second
floor is used as a ware room and
storage for canned goods. Mr.. Reyn-
olds grocery is thoroughly stocked,
well furnished, and in keeping with
the progressive spirit of the larger
merchants of Union City. In addition
to the regular line of staple and fancy
groceries a speciality is made of
French market coffee, roasted and

try is carried in all seasons and

 "Haying been informed that report is being circulated to the effect that the management of the Alaska exhibit in disseminating literature Is discrim- mating in favor of certain Alaska trans portatiou companies, to the exclusion of others, am authorized to state that such is not a fact. We have in our building a general information, trans portatiou and press bureau, over which I have the honor to preside, and from which is distributed printed matter for warded us by any reputable Alaska transportation company.
