MAXWELL, THE TAILOR IMPORTER OF FOREIGN WOOLENS 246 WASHINGTON STREET Portland, Oregon, Sept. 16, 1911. TO MY FRIENDS AND PATRONS: ,v I beg to announce that my stock of w oolens for Fall Is complete, and am grati fied to state that there is no nicer display of woolens in the latest fabrics in the city. These goods are imported from the most famous mills abroad. We also carry the finest grades of Domestic. ' The number of years I have been in Portland with the large patronage I have, enables me to buy direct in large quantities. You are well aware that any mer chant who is able to buy his goods for spot cash buys for much less than through the jobber. Therefore I will make you a suit from Imported woolens for less money than you pay for ordinary domestic fabrics elsewhere. During this special sale, commencing today at 8 A. M, I will make up from the celebrated Scotch Tweeds, Bannockbums, Harris and many other weaves and colors, including the newest shades of browns, regular $35 and $40 suits, your unrestricted choice, for $32.50, and an extra pair of trousers and a fancy vest free. In addition I will include in this special sale the celebrated West of England Blue Worsted Serges, which goods I can positively , guarantee not to shrink, fade or shine, and are of such weights that can be worn the year around. My regular prices on these goods are $45, but during the special sale I will give your unrestricted choice from this serge for $37.50 with an extra pair of trousers of same material or stripe and a fancy vest without additional charge. Remember, I use the highest grade of linings, such as mohair, serge, alpaca and Farmer's satin. I adopted this policy of using high grade trimmings in all clothes made by me years ago, and that is one of the reasons why I now have the largest high grade tailoring establishment with the largest patronage in the city of Portland. I do not have to brag about my reputation as a tailor; the years I have been in Portland, with the thousands of suits I have made, is enough to testify to my ability and integrity. All garments are cut by me personally, and are made under my pet sonal supervision. I don't think any other tailor endeavors to please a patron more than I do. As for the clothes I make, I keep them pressed and in good shape free of charge. Sincerely yours, MAXWELL', THE TAILOR MAXW1 9 THE TA Lllji.
