Holiday News for the Home Due to Labor and Freight Conditions It Seems at This Time Unavoidable That There Will Be a Country-Wide Christmas Shortage of Columbia, Edison, and Victor Phonographs Those Who Wish to Be SURE of Getting the Make and Style Which They Prefer Can Best Make Certain of it by Choosing Now Columbia Grafonolas, $20 to $250 Edison Phonographs, $95 to $285 Victor Victrolas, $25 to $300 There, briefly, is the outline of the MEIER & FRANK gift stocks of fine phonographs at the present moment. What further shipments we shall receive between now and Christmas eve we do not know. Large orders from us have been at the factories for months, but the de mand for all kinds of phonographs is un precedented. It is almost impossible for the factories to cope with the volume of business because the phonograph output was greatly interrupted during the past two years due to patriotic work for the government and there are no made-uo stocks to help take care of Christmas or ders. Freight and express conditions in the east also materially delay receipt of the models after they leave the factory. So our best advice to our patrons is to choose NOW if convenient. We shall be glad to hold purchases intended for gifts until Christmas week. Your Own Terms in Reason -Ask to Hear the New Records in the Sound -Proof Phonograph Rooms Meier & Frank's: Sixth Floor.

Because of the great shortage of production affecting the world of homes the Carpet Store has been almost sold out of larger sizes of Wilton rugs for several weeks. Serious shortage still remains over the length and breadth of the land, but fortunately for Portland there is no short age at MEIER & FRANK'S for the time being. On a recent trip to the eastern mills our floor-covering chief was able to secure for immediate delivery all wanted room sizes and in the NEW designs. These new designs include copies and adaptations of Orien tal rug patterns besides the many created by American artists. They are to be had with the de sirable backgrounds of rose, tan, mulberry, blue or taupe. As an example of the difficulty experienced, and surmounted by us, in securing the goods our cus tomers' need, a number of these rugs were at the mill unsewn be cause there was a shortage of carpet sewing people; the MEIER & FRANK rug chief had them shipped as they were and they have been sewn in our own Car pet Work Shop on the premises.

(SfelEiSr For Thanksgiving Day Dinner The Dining Room Certainly Should Look Its Best CUSTOMERS tell us that the displays of dining-room furniture here are astonishingly large and fine much better than they have been .able to find elsewhere in Portland or in coast cities of neighboring states. In addition to our already important collections we have received this week a number of entirely new suites and separate pieces. Fully ten thousand square feet of the Furniture Gallery are given over to dining-room furniture in this Thanksgiving showing. A Span-Umbrian suite from Berkey & Gay is of solid walnut with tracery de signs punched on the surface as seen in old 16th century Spanish and Italian furni ture ; the chairs belonging to this set have rush seats or cane backs, or tapestry seats and backs. A new Queen Anne dining suite of ma hogany has an interesting oblong table and the metal drawer pulls are quaint enough to please one's taste for the an tique. Chippendale dining suites are to be had in the English or Chinese styles with chairs having leather or tapestry uphol stery. A Sheraton dining suite has the quiet grace and elegance of the typical Sheraton design, the sideboard very long, the chairs with lattice backs. A Heppelwhite suite in mahogany has the distinguishing marks of this master 18th-century craftsman. An Italian suite of walnut has rather elaborate carvings and characteristic poly chrome decorations. An Italian Renaissance suite is of ma hogany and there is a pleasant absence of all corners which will probably endear it to its future owners. Dining-room suites in the Furniture Gallery are to be had for as little as $150 or as much as $2000. Your Own Terms in Reason -Meier & Frank's: Eighth Floor: (Mail Orders Filled.)

The swinging wringer can be adjusted in almost any convenient position; on the washer itself or on one side or an other of the stationary tubs. This further eliminates handling of the clothes.

No laundry, no laundress, with all their human imperfections. The Eden washer will wash the clothes electrically, wring them electrically- with out fuss; bother or labor on your part except for the filling of the tubs with water and soap and the hanging of , the clothes on the line. Why wash the old way another week? Put off wash day! Come tomorrow and order the Eden with the swinging wringer for imme diate delivery Then wash electrically. Your neighbor is doing it! Electricity costs only 2c an hour in Portland. The Eden washer will save its price many times over. $39.00 America Electric Cleaners $25.65 Exactly 27 of these nationally-advertised cleaners are now in the Electric Shop at this saving of more than thirteen dollars.
