This announcement within itself is almost sufficient to crowd this store with eager customers every day during the sale, for the people of La Grande know us and the kind of mer
chandise we carry. They also know that we never make an announcement unless it means something. Every stock in the store will contribute its quota of bargains to this sale. In
fact,no piece or parcel of merchandise will escape the ruthless reductions of the price-cutter. To competition, apparently, we will be losing money on this sale, but we know our business
well enough to know that 1907 has been a very profitable year to us, and that we can well afford to close out all goods in their season, whether it be at cost or a loss. The store will
be transposed into a veritable fairyland of bargains, with counters of bargain lots here and there, and everything will be marked in plain figures, strictly one price to all. At this sale
you can well afford to anticipate your wants for months to come, for it will be a great bargain event and an unnsual opportunity to save money. Below we quote a number Of prices
merely as examples of the values you will find yhen you come to the store.
