Go where you will among Portland's shoppers, in every neighborhood and every walk of life, we hear but the one expression, "If wa would be sure of goods absolutely dependable and of styles authoritative, with less to pay than asked by careless, unreliable shops, WE MUST GO TO OLDS, WOKTMAN & KING'S for them." This great store has earned this reputation by careful, honest merchandising, by carrying only merchandise of the RELIABLE sort that bore the stamp of approval set upon it by some one of the world's style creators in the great fashion centers. You are looking this moment upon a page of value mentions that reveal buying opportunities not equaled by any house on the Pacific Slope. Honsst values, splendid bargains and such a host of them as make the silly, vapid, braggarts who copy our advertising and follow in our footsteps to pick up tho crumbs that fall from our knapsack, ap pear ridiculous, a laughing stock everywhere, and a reproach upon good and honest modern merchandising methods. Today Occurs the Mth in Portland's Original "Hourly Sales" First introduced in this city by Olds, "Wortman & King in 1893. Any one of our great DISLODGMENT SALES is worth coming miles to participate in, but the values today are matchless and unprecedented. Some of them seem almost beyond belief, but Portland folk know that if the merchandise was not here to back the printed statements we wouldn't print them. "We've a reputation at stake, and propose to ever maintain it, as PORTLAND'S BEST AND LEADING CONGRESS STORE! THE DISLODGMENT-CLEARANCE SALES CONTINUE DURING JULY AND Every Article of Merctian. dise in the House is REDUCED N AMARU EDD EG REE A few contract goods alone excepted.
