6 , ' OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, FEHUUARY U 1!)0). THOUSAN FOUR D FAfflLIES 4 1 3 ; V-J. : s! II There's Magnetism in our prices. When you con sider them they are bound to pull you to us. Buy in February 4000 iamilies, perhaps more, readers of the county papers, will consider this page devoted to sug gestions for judicious buying. After the day's toil is done the evening recreation may be turned to profit. It is important that your labor shall bring financial gain. It is equally important, if you would have your bank account grow, that you expend the proceeds of your toil judiciously and to the best possible advantage. In the quiet of your home, consider if the saving of dollar may not be more easily accomplished than the earning of it. We seek the good will of our customers as well as their patronage. Wo will gain their good will by sell ing only good goods at honest prices. Buy in February 25c While they hist we will sell eijjht pounds steel wire nails for...: 25c A A - Do you get along without a Roaster JG because they cost $1.25? Your roast will taste just as good in ours at 40c Only twenty-four of thera We invite comparison at all times. This February we challenge any dealer to meet os on prices. nif A Handsome Water Set, consisting of a large, clear glass, richly designed, water pitcher and six beautiful, thin blown water glasses. Glasses either plain or deco rated designes. Regular value of this set $ 1.25. Of the 4000 families that read this advertisement, only 24 can be in time to get this water set. We have only 24 of them. You will want one in the summer wont it pay you to come early and save nearly half? We assure you honest values, courteous treatment and prompt service. Buy In February There's a Reason Why Trade falters in February. It is a between-seasons month. This is the time that some merchants try to make short sales yield big profits. We have a different plan. We will keep up the volume of trade by getting right down to prices that are irresistable. We will give up a $20 piece to the news papers in order to let the people know abont it.Thore are fire sales, bargain sales, hard-time sales, rummage sales, bankrupt sales and perhaps a thousand other kind of sales. We are not advertising a sale. We are simply getting down to business on prices. In some instances we have made fortunate buys. In such cases we offer goods at the price they ordinarly cost at wholesale. When we offer steel wire nails at eight pounds for 25 cents, you are to understand that just 500 pounds go at that fig ure. We bought 500 pounds cheap enough to be able to sell them profitably at 3 cents per pound. When we offer a large copper oil can that costs regularly from 30 to 40 cents for IS cents, you are to understand that there are only four dozen at that figure. These are simply items that we purchased from a bankrupt hardware concern. Do you wonder that we expect this advertisement to bring in at least $2000 additional trade on which we will make probably 7 or 8 per cent? When we jam sell a weighing scale that will weigh accurately articles from one to fifty pounds for fifteen cents, or a screw driver a foot long for the same price, may we not expect the lot, five dozen of each, to go in a week? Isn'i there a reason why you should even make a special trip to town to buy in February? Why Wait Till Spring? We hud n big shipment of Chairs tutcmlcd for the Christmas trade, that got here in January. We demanded ami got u Hukstau tial discount on them. Whilu thin lot hint you get 'JO per cent or one-fifth off. Wont it pay you to buy in February? The more you try to match our prices the more you will appreciate them.
