Ten vears ago, on the heels of the depression, well-doing Bill Gra- ham, “Smokehouse Bill” to the host of friends he made in the ear Alaska days, was wiped out in his hotel businesses at Stanwood, Wash- |ington, and Eugene, Oregon.

The distributing firm Outside accepted the $39 as first payment. At $5 a month, big money for a business and a future begun with 85 cents, the Grahams paid off. Today theyre clear. Trollers and visiting hunters have brought tales to Juneau of the Gra- ham vegetables and canned berries —“turnips and rutabagas that you eat like apples” — “jellies and jams that grandmother never heard of.” and it’s true. Graham’s Store The Grahams have a “store” with their own produce. They sell 19 dif- ferent varieties of canned wild ber- ries at 15 cents a half pint, 25 cents a pint, and 50 cents a quart—wild crabapple, black currant, high and low bush cranberries, three kinds of huckleberries, five kinds of blueber- ries, strawberries, lagoonberries, a groundberry for which the Russians had a name, salmonberries, elderber- ries and wild gooseberries.
