UNSATISFACTORY ENDING

The withdrawal of the names of Judges Reed: and Ritchie and District Attorney Shoup as nominees for Alaska offices brings to a close one of the most disgraceful chapters in Alaska's political history.

GETTING NEW BUSINESS

The progressive business firm finds that it needs to be con- .vtantly making new friends and creating a new circle of customers. If it just depends on satisfying those who have previously bought it's goods, it $ likely to see it's trade dimin- ished.
 Population changes much more 'apidly now than formerly, md if a firm has a certain list If customers this year, it can expect, as the result of all the ,hanges that naturally occur, that a considerable proportion If those customers will not be on the list in a year or two.
 Also people are changeable m thelr habits, and unless a very energetic effort is made Q hold old customers by ad- vertising, a lot of them will go elsewhere, attracted by the various inducements that are offered. them.
 People are not much inclined, IS they were often formerly, just to trade at one place or 8 few places right along year after year. They are quick to get the idea, if some firm seems to be hustling 8 little harder than it's competitors to please the people, and no feel ing of habit or sentiment of loyalty is apt to hold them, if they think they can do better
