Upper floors will be devoted to apartments and office Ard incidentally, seeing elevator plans on the blueprints, one recalls that the recently burned Goldstein Buildi built in 1914, housed the first elevator in Alaska. | But most important of all to' Goldstein in this new building is the realization of something he has worked for and dreamed of since pefore the Klondike—his own fur manufacturing plant. To Manufacture In a “manufacturing” sense, the term as here applied means that Goldstein will devote an entire floor in the building to the work of fur processors, cutters, dyers and fin- ishe | Between eight and 15 persons wiil' be engaged in these exacting arts, and will turn out fur garments to, order and to stock order on a large scale that will give Juneau and Al- aska the first such business in its history | Since the middle of the 18th cen- tury, when the Russians came over | to Alaskan waters for sea otter,| furs have been bought and sold| in Alaska, but beyond that have net gone into greater preparation! for the channels of commerce, leav- ing the processing and handling to workmen of Los Angeles, St. Louis, New York, New Jer Paris and other centers in the fur| world. | Place in Fur World If Goldstein’s plans materialize as intended, Juneau will not occu- py “just another” spot in the world’s fur picture, but will be possibly one of the most significant in the field. Having decided to launch him- self into the costly business of pro- cessing furs and branching out from his buying, wholesaling and re- tailing trade, Goldstein must needs broaden the scope of his buying ac-| tivities and go farther afield. { All of Alaska and a good deal of northern Canada has been Charles Goldstein’s immediate buying field heretofore, although to round out his fur brokerage with all the pop- ular furs of the day he occasion-! ally has sallied into markets of the, States. To Widen Field Now, with processing of furs in the immediate future, Goldstéin and his associates plan to buy inten- sively in the Yukon Territory and British Columbia as well as in more northerly Canadian fur areas and Alaska. To care for his heavy purchases of fur, Goldstein will incorporate into his new building a large cold storage for public storage of furs as well as his own. Goldstein bases his belief in this’ large scale enterprise on a convic- tion that “too many middlemen take the profit in fur,” and believes that with his own buying organiza- tion and his own processing plant he will be ablg, to market heavily throughout the nation on a mail order plan of “direct from the woods and farms to you.” Goldstein will have his former lo- cation for his retail store and en- deavor to make it even more a fur “show-place” for visiting tourists.
