THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1904. "THE DIFFERENT STORE" FIFTH, SIXTH AND WASHINGTON STREETS PORTLAND'S "QUALITY SHOP" dffl!P The Monster 27th Annual Clearance Sales Start Tomorrow SN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GREAT 1905 WORLD'S "WHITE PAIR" AND TION OP UNDERMUSLINS AND DAINTY LINGERIE 27TH AamtTAL CLEARANCE SALE-ABSOLUTELY EVERY ARTICLE DT THE HOUSE (CONTRACT GOODS' ALONE EXCEPTED) BASEMENT TO EAVES, DRASTICALLY REDUCED. WHY ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALES ARE HELD Ever watfli a big log-drive down some -wide, swelling stream in the Spring? The mighty mass goes steadily on down through the swift-running channel until an obstruction is met. A log leaves its mates, followed, perhaps, Toy others,-and is thrown upon a jiitting point of the shore. Along comes the "clean-up crew," the logs are picked up, pushed to the center of the current, aud go on their way again to their destination. The log-drive is the regular year's business. The logs thrown upon the shore are the overstocks and laggards in merchandise that have not moved out before annual February stock-taking. The "clean up" crew is the CLEARANCE SALES of January. And they're nighty thorough in their work. Twenty-seven years ago this house originated and held the first "CLEARANCE SALE" (in which all goods were reduced) ever known to Portland. The custom has been kept up each recurring January since. Other houses have imitated in a feeble, half-hearted way a shallow pretense that is easily seen through by the intelligent public. The house of Olds, Wortman & King is the only one in Portland that does not reserve a portion of their stocks in staple lines from the carnage of clearance. We prefer to be truthful with our clientelle, even though it may involve some considerable temporary loss. Our reputation is at stake and we will not involve it by stooping to the chicanery and trickery that some other houses seem to delight in and haveinbred in the bone. Re member that the ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE CLEARANCE SALE, INYOLTING- EVERY DOLLAR'S WORTH OF GOODS IN THE HOUSE AT TREMENDOUS REDUCTIONS, OPENS AT THIS STORE TOMORROW, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27, at 8 A. M., lasting until Saturday, February 4, at 6 P. M. The Great January, 1905, "White Fair Sale" in the Undermuslin Stores.
