THS OLDS, WORTH AN ft KINO STORE Is not a mere department store,
buying and selling bunches of thfa or that ccnmodityt but it ar s CONGRESS
STORE, in which every line of goods is bought, controlled, bandied and sold on the
basis of the best specialty store fa each line With the bare exception of perhaps
one line we sen far more goods of each class than does any specialty house fa Port
- land end, as a rule, considerably excel the display of goods of any. local specialty
house. Each stock represented fa this house is larger by far than similar ones shown
by other large city stores and each department does a greater volume of business
than tfe corresponding departments fa any other two Portland stores combined. Not
so many departments as some. No; buildings won't admit, but a new building fa -nearly
ready and still others planned. ) These statements are not made boaetingly, i!
but are within bounds, very exact and made o emphasise FACTS. - Now then, why .

Olds, Wortman ft King's promises are punctiUouely kept but if better VALUES should be given by other stores, ths chances are that people would
brave a little risk and some ill manners. Iri a little over a quarter century of life this great store has been always to the front but everlastingly in-
creasing the distance between its tailboard snd the other fellow's pole tip. Many of our good mercantile confreres are kind enough to admit, fa
