THE MORNING OREOOHIAK, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1904. x r ( GIGANTIC DISLODGMENT SALE! "THE DIFFERENT STORE" 5EDLAM LET LOOSE 2 ' , i, , J fc -- j&ssyrSy'S iy 1i Se mln ii i Mj, MIL iplssa Sticks and stone, bricks, mortar and dust will soon fill the air! Workmen are prepar ing to tear away the walls that separate our new fctiilding the 8ixth-Stret Annexwith the "Old Homestead" Store I This means dust and damage 1 It also entails the moving of every stock of merchandise with the We exception two in the store. Take it any way you will, the situation demands an instant, heavy ItwKinj of stocks. If you've been com ing here during the weeks of the past mtnth r so, you'll knew how great have been our special Store Expansion offers. If yau've missed the numberless good things we've pre viously offered, this will be the opportunity to profit by ur discomfiture. The time-honored, beaten paths of merchandising all over this broad Union of States all lead this month to "white sales," "white fairs," white days," and numerous other white (?) excuses to tempt the pennies from your purse. While some less important stores are quarreling over the "originality" of the white frosts that are hoary with age blindly following the "pace" set by every little one-horse shop in every village ani hamlet of Amtrica, we depart from all for mer precedents and Let Loose in AH Departments! Open Wide the Gates! Bar No Com ers! and during the month of June, starting teday, Tuesday morning, May 31. WE REDUCE THE PRICE MERCILESSLY AND ABSOLUTELY OP EVERY ARTICLE OE MERCHANDISE IN THE HOUSE A few contract goods alone excepted no matter what the color! Be it black, white, red, green, or any other of the numerous colors, that impress the organ of vision. We are not establishing a precedent, mind you we realize we bring demoralization upon every other local store in pursuing this course we do not enter upon it blindly the issue is forced. It's either shut' up shop and store the goods now, or take the loss. Big businesses like ours can't stand suspension not for a moment so it's "Hobson's choice" ; we've no alternative ; rather than close up our store during the alterations that will affect every department barring two, out of over forty under our great roof, we've decided to take down the bars for a month, during the progress of the alterations that start today, and invite the public in .to help themselves from the bountiful bargain board that's spread here before you ail to buy at prices that were never before paralleled in America by such a house as ours ! No use now to wait for January sales every "clearance" sale ever attempted on the Pacific Coast is so far surpassed by this merciless, monster sacrifice of dependable merchandise that it is relegated so far in the rear as even get the dust from the heels of our falling wall. Carpenters, painters, masons and other artisans take possession today; if you can stand the noise and the dust, you may buy goods at prices you would make your Green price tickets throughout the store, scattered promiscuously through every department, on every floor, call your attention to the very extra special values that this GRAND, GIGANTIC DISLODGMENT SALE Makes. The stocks in every department are soon to be moved dislodged it's easier to count a part of their price in cash now than to wait and count the cost of damage in moving later. So come on and help yourselves to our magnificent stocks of merchandise now at prices ridiculous in their minute nroportions. Never mind the rag-tag "white 'sales" we'll sell you white goods and every sort of good goods at about half what other stores must ask. Twould be suicidal for anv of em to attempt to follow us. Circumstances forced upon us comoel the sacrifice that follows in the wl nf the GREAT DISLODGMENT SALE that starts todav at 8 A.M. We hint below the way that prices run now until we get into the new Sixth-street store. Don't you think you'll waste your money or a part if you spend it elsewhere than at the "Different Store" during June?
