So do these two Vores tower above all other in popularity of prices and friendship for the common people. They have become the recognized marts of trade for all that class of. men and youths whose funds come to them
largely through their own efforts, and therefore seek the best to be had for the money expended. Just now we, are engaged in prosecuting j r - l- fi--; f-v. , ' .' '
v In order to id our stores of the perplexing mass of garments that accumulated during the" last two monster half price carnivals from which we have Just emerged. Everything In our stores nrast positively be dlsjpoeed of
without the, smallest reserve. All must go at whatever figures we can obtain, and THAT SALES MAY BE .QUICK, we are making quotations that induce exceptional trading, even for far away future vm. THE-AS-
TOUNDING, PARALYZING, .STUPENDOUS CUTS IN FORMER VALUES we quote belpw dumfounds the ordinary mind, and only a personal inspection can convince the reader that EVERY WORD ' OF OUR
ADVERTISEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. ' ' ,
HERE ARE THE ACTUAL FACTS TO PROVE OUR EVERY CLAIM
i

Men's and Youths' Suits
(fc A QAWill buy from us splendidly tail-.
)4VUored, perfectly cut All-Wool Suits,
.sold everywhere and cheap, too at $15.00.

dium or heavy weight, every garment silk
sewed and warranted well worth every cent
of, the suit, $25.00. , ;

mixtures indeed every known weave of
cloth and cut of garment the most fastidious
votary of fashion ever' knew. No man need
be ashamed to wear these clothes. They
are worthy of a prince. They are fit for a
king. - And yet, we sell them down to the
extraordinary price of $9.95, though worth
every penny of, the suit, $35.00 to, $40.00.
; Elegant Topcoats, $0:95
What do you think' of this? Only $6.95
for any of the 1,800 marvelously excellent
Top Coats, in 15 different styles, good
enough for the richest gentleman in Port-
land ; sold at most places at $15.00
to $18.00, yet here they go at..... $0.95
$25 Overcoats, $8.45
Our price is one-third of their value. In-,
spection of the garments makes it seem
" impossible that they can be disposed of
at sb low a figure, yet WE do it, because
we are BOUND TO CLEAN . OUR
i PLACES' OUT. We cannot have the
'' goods cumber the space we will require
for our new stock, due to arrive about
September 1, so you may have any coat
' you choose for the little trifle
of ... . . . .... . ... . . . . . . .88.45
$50.00 Heavy - '. -
Winter Overcoats, $10.00
It puzzles our friends, the enemy, how we
do this. They ' cannot understand how.
In fact we can scarcely understand it
'. ourselves; until we reflect that we bought
) the garments at less than 19 cents on the
$1.00 and have sold enough already to
more than pay, fof the coats three times
over.- For this reason WE understand a
few things our competitors cannot divine,,
so we will loosen our grip on these-
' heavy winter garments at, each , .$10.00

The foregoing figures indicate how"
we have slashed things generally. It
is probably well known now that
when we set out to do a thing we do
it. We have set out to clean up our
two stores so that there shall not be a
vestige of anything left of our present
stocks on September 1. 1 he prices
we have named herein ought to dis
pose of every atom of our stock within
a week. We wonder, if it will? We
wonder if the men of Portland, will not
embrace this opportunity to clothe
themselves at from one-quarter to one- Z
half what the same garments would
cost at the ordinary store and in
ordinary times. EVERY MALE
