BLAZE IN TURN HALLE
UPSETTING OF GASOLINE LAMP
STARTS 0200 FIRE.
Firemen Rexpond Quickly and Do
Effective "Work Foreman Carl
Rynn Received Broken Rib.
The Portland Social Turn "Vereln build
ing, at the northeast corner of Fourth
nnd Yamhill streets, narrowly escaped de
struction in a $6200 blaze -which broke out
last night, and it was owing to the hard
work of the firemen that the fire was sub
dued in time. The total insurance is about
53500. Carl Ryan, foreman of Truck No.
2, fell against a beam in Turn Halle and
one of his ribs is broken. The origin of
the fire was the upsetting of a gasoline
lamp in Norgard & Pettereon's tailoring
store, 260J4 Yamhill street, under Turn
Halle.
It was about 6:40 o'clock last night when
the gasoline lamp fell and broke In Nor
gard & Pettereon's store, and Mr. Nor
gard ran around the corner to fire bead
quarters on Fourth street and yelled
'FIre!" An alarm was sent out from
box No. 132, a.nd when the firemen arrived
at the scene angry flames were sweeping
from the tailors' etore to the stage of the
Turn "Vereln. Several streams of water
checked the blaze after a hard fight, but
in the meantime the scenery on the stage
suffered heavily from water, also the ceil
ings and walla, which are artistically fres
coed. Foreman Ryan was working to pre
vent the scenery catching fire, and in
crossing the outside of the stage he missed
his footing and fell across a beam, where
he was grasped just in time by Otto
Schumann, else he would have fallen Into
the stage pit, six feet below. Ryan was
taken to his home at Fourth and Mill
streets.
The Turn Halle saloon, operated by
Kirchner & Hanno, escaped both water
and flame, but the smoke caused about
5100 damage to the walls and celling. Nor
gard & Pettereon's store was gutted, and
the loss here Is about $3000, partially cov
ered by $1500 insurance. Next door, at
Jacob Schwind's shoe store, the water
caused about $100 damage to leather and
boots, but Schwlnd carried no Insurance.
The Turn Halle Is owned by the Portland
Social Turn Vereln, and about $2000 in
surance is carried. Turn Halle was or
ganized about 30 years ago, and the first
building was shortly afterward destroyed
by fire, but was promptly rebuilt.

You don't need any interpretation of our definition
of the word "Clearance" It's an annual event
here that has always enjoyed a tremendous pat
ronage oecause we nave maae n an attractive occasion.
The Clearance Sale story cannot be told in detail Every
department is represented Every line of merchandise in
the entire establishment is reduced and sacrificed in away
that caused unusual selling on Flonday and Tuesday, and
will resume with great activity tomorrow One of the best
ways of starting the new year is with a busy store, and if
values will do the trick, this should be a very busy place
tomorrow and for many days to follow If we let the store
slumber in January, we should need to charge higher
prices for goods during the time of year that people natur
ally come to buy. So, to offset the natural tendency to
midwinter dullness to make this an economical store to reduce stocks to their lowest
point before inventory we inaugurate first, THE GREAT CLEARANCE SALE; second,
THE GREAT WHITE SALE Muslin Underwear. SMALLER PRICES IN JANUARY
THAN IN ANY OTHER MONTH, so every need for the home or wearing apparel should
be supplied while assortments are good and weather favorable for Winter merchandise.
Counters are piled high with rare bargains for example, huge stacks of Bath Towels and
Bedspreads disappeared the first two days of the sale as though not a home in the city
was supplied with either. The reason for this selling you will find on the price card.
At every turn there are moneysaving opportunities on

Muslin Underwear
Years ago some bright housewife discovered that it would be a
good plan to pass the long Winter evenings making underclothes for
next Summer She laid in some muslin and bsgan work That was the
White Sales inspiration Some one else saw her work, caught the Idea
and began, too then another and another Finally the jobbers
began to feel this drain on their muslin stock found out what it
meant began to prepare for it Then came the sewing machines and
the factories and the ready-made under-muslins, and one morning
the jobbers woke up Jo find that bleached muslin had a rival ready
made muslin underclothes People weren't making their underclothes
so much They could get them much easier and much cheaper In the
stores, and they waited until Summer when they needed them, to
buy So the January drain on bleached muslin began to wane Then
a prominent merchant remembered those home-sewing parties Said
why shouldn't we make and sell underclothes in January when we're
not so busy That was the White Sales origin It was a success Oth
ers began to imitate Now the White Sale is a part of every big busi
nessOurs is the Greatest of Muslin Underwear Sales in this city Every piece ma
and values unequaled.

UP-TO-DATE IN EVERYTHING
APPERTAINING TO FURS
It Is nearly a third ol a century
since the great fur house of G. P.
Rummelln & Sons, 126 Second street,
near Washington, came into exist
ence. To be definite, the concern
was established just 31 years ago.
It was up to date then; it is the
leader of fashion in fur apparel and
fur goods now.
A few years ago the Arm erected
its own building- a front view of
which is shown in the accompany
ing illustration. All of its three
floors and basement are occupied
by the owners for manufacturing
and salesroom purposes.
There is innate comfort and sat
lsfactlon In buying of or tradin
with Rummelln & Sons. None
the little deceptive artifices, intend
ed to delude the patron, are em
ployed or permitted. All of tne
firm's business transactions are
frank, open, above board and honest.
Persons strangers to the quality or
value of furs and fur goods, stand
on an equal footing with the most
expert. This is why people delight
to trade at Rummelln's. Every
body knows that the firm's gar
ments and wares are always exact
ly as represented, hence the very
potent reason that a majority of
Portlanders buy their fur goods
there.
Remodeling and repairing out-of-date
or worn fure carefully attend
ed to.
Our dressing department .is
equipped with the latest machinery.
"We dress all kinds of furs.
