T&5?S2ffi13 54th Grand Weekly Economy Sale
A concourse of mighty bargains add zest and vivacity to hundreds of other values scheduled for the week that must throng this famous old store with eager May buyers. The grandest, most
perfect buying organization in all the Northwest, backed by unlimited cash capital, has enabled us to go to manufacturers and secure stocks that, on account of a cold, backward season in the East,

month (ahead in every department from 25 to 100 per cent of the best business this house ever enjoyed at a corresponding season), and our immense outlet, we were in condition to advantage our
selves of these circumstances and did. True to our policy, fast as the goods arrive, we turn them to you at in many instances at bare cost to the makers, in EVERY instance at great savings
from regular prices. Greater savings than ever are offered today at our 54th Grand Friday "Economy Sale."
Note that s6me of the special items quoted at remarkable bargain prices are for TODAY ONLY, others for TODAY and SATURDAY. Early morning shopping is easier for you and helps us.

Three of Portland's School Teachers Will
Be Sent to the St Louis Exposition With
ALL EXPENSES PAID BY THIS HOUSE
Realizing that from an educational standpoint the St. Louis Exposition will
present the grandest object lesson the world has ever witnessed and that, as compared
with all previous expositions of a similar character it will be as a giant Colossus of
Rhodes to a tiny midget as Chicago of '93 was to Philadelphia of '76 illustrating as
it does to the very life the world's mighty progress in the Arts, Sciences, Discover
ies and Inventions during a decade since the Columbian Exposition, we feel that a
knowledge of this tremendous development is most important in suggesting what
may be done in the future. Such knowledge is most important to those directly en- jjb
o-ao-ed in educational work. Since Portland has been chosen as a site for the sreat Vvv
Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905, her educators, of all others, can appreciate such
practical knowledge as may be gathered by a personal visit to the great Fair at St.
Louis this -Summer. Every civilized Nation presents her best, every exhibit may be
seen in its grandest perfection and descriptions given by the most competent in
structors. Knowledge gathered in person must be correct and complete and will be
of greatest value to Portland if disseminated thro' her schools.
As a home (Portland) institution, deeply interested in her every success, and
especially that of her own coming Lewis and Clark Exposition,
WE HAVE PLANNED TO SEND TO ST. LOUIS THREE TEACHERS
PROM PORTLAND SCHOOLS AT OUR EXPENSE. THESE THREE
TEACHERS TO BE CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE BY POPULAR VOTE
STARTING- MONDAY MORNING- NEXT, MAY 16, we shall give with
every purchase amounting to 25c, a coupon with place for name of teacher and school
over which he or she presides. Ballot boxes will be conveniently placed on every
floor, near the entrances, three on the first floor and one each on each upper floor;
pencils will be provided. Upon these slips you may write the name of your favorite
teacher whom you would prefer enjoying the trip, and drop the slip into the ballot
boxes provided. Each day they will be counted and the count verified by a represen
tative of one of the Portland newspapers, the result will be announced daily in our ad
vertisements UNTIL THE CONTEST CLOSES AT 6 P. M. OF SATURDAY, AUG.
6, when the account will be again verified by a committee of prominent citizens and
the award made to the three-whose names have received most votes.
The trip includes first-class tickets with Pullman sleener both ways, ex
penses at first-class hotel for ten days and entrance tickets to Exposition grounds )
