Interesting to Tourists - Mineral cabinet across the street from the postoffice, Kians and Johnson totems, Ketchikan Glen and Salmon stream. The Curio stores, where valuable specimens of Indian work may be seen, and tourists are always cordially invited to any of them whether they expect to buy or not.
Cedar Bark Indian Baskets - Ketchikan Indian school sends out large numbers of these baskets. Their baskets are both of the straight and twisted weave, and sell at prices from one-quarter to one-half of the price of spruce root baskets, and are very practical and durable. These baskets are useful for ladies work baskets, jardinieres, market baskets, and catch all baskets. It may be said here that baskets are sold at the stores at about the same prices that they may be secured from the natives. The stores make their profit by paying for them in trade.
