When the Alaska Commercial Com
pany dissolved. the Northern CONNER
cial Company took over its business I'm
interior Alaska. and it now has fifteen
or more stores in the basins OF the
Yukon and the Kuskokwim, covering
the mining camps and chief fur trading
points: 1t supplies many of the road
houses. and does wholesale and re-
tail business over a territory which is
perhaps one tenth as large as the
United States proper. The company
has capital Of s3.00O.00O. the stock
being owned mostly In San Francisco
and England.
LARGE ESTABLISHMENT
LOCATED At FAIRBANKS
People who base their ideas OF
Alaskan trade on the small country
store or the mining camp should go
through some OF these mercantile es-
adjustments OF Alaska. There are
some> outside the Northern Commercial
Company that do large business. but
none that covers such great area and
handles everything needed by the peo-
pie. The establishment here at Fair.
banks. for Instance. consists of stores.
warehouses and cellars with n floor
space OF six or eight acres. 1t includes
machine shops and foundries. cold stor-
age and warm storage quarters,
branches devoted to wholesale and re-
heat and electric light plants.
The mercantile establishment has
now on hand moro than $1,000. 900
worth Of groceries. provisions and other
supplies; and its retail branch Is like n
small department store In the States.
Goods have to be bought in large guam
titles. for the country Is locked in ice
for seven months of the year. during
which timo everything goes In and out
on dog sleds.
