A four page section of a vintage advertisement and guide titled "Alaska Bazaar." Undated Vol II pg. 6N
The left side highlights various items for sale such as curios, souvenirs, oriental ware, old brass and pewter, old silver coins, and souvenir postcards. It emphasizes their extensive and varied stock, including items like Alaska and British Columbia baskets, blankets, wood and stone totems, spoons, and more.
The right side provides a list of places to visit in Victoria, such as Parliament Buildings, Beacon Hill Park, and Landsberg's Museum, which boasts "the most complete collection of Indian relics in Canada." The section also mentions local attractions like The Indian Reserve and The Alaska Bazaar. Additionally, there's a list of "Chief Indian Tribes."
The second page, left side highlights four reasons why the Alaska Bazaar sells items cheaper: direct trading with Indigenous people for over 25 years, continuous year-round trade allowing for smaller profit margins, reduced rent costs due to a small storefront, and savings by purchasing directly from manufacturers.
The right side features a drawing of an Indigenous person sitting draped in cloth, surrounded by the words “Souvenirs” and “Indian Curios.” The advertisement mentions they offer Indian curios, oriental goods, and souvenirs, with souvenir postcards available in great variety at low prices, and notes that the store is open on Sundays.Subject
