Ladies' Walking Skirts
-
'Tis said the apparel oft proclaims the woman. In these
modern times, when so much depends upon proper
gowning, it has been very gratifying to the manage
ment of this store to receive snch flattering testimonials
as during the present season. From early Angust to the present day the Cloak and Suit
business has exceeded our fondest expectations, demanding practically the entire time of
cloak buyer to be spent in Eastern markets in order to keep assortments complete and the
latest styles on hand. Snnday he leaves for his first trip for the spring season. Prior to his
departore he was anxious to record new selling figures, to impress upon yon stronger than
ever that THIS is Portland's Greatest Cloak Store, by offering the greatest values ever
known facts not newspaper imaginations. Its easy enongh for other stores to say "Portland's
Biggest and Best Cloak Store" another matter to verify it, but that's immaterial. Some stores
incipally in falsehoods and hot air. Here's profitable reading for yon.
