A short 1909 travel magazine article describing Native Alaskan women selling baskets and other goods to tourists on the wharves of Alaskan towns, with emphasis on Yakutat. It covers the old and new Yakutat baskets, prices from $2 to $50, bargaining customs when ships are in port, and sealskin items with beadwork and flannel. It opens with a comparison to the flower sellers of Honolulu. One photograph shows a display of baskets and other objects.
