ELGNIRK SSIRK PROCLAIMS THIS PORTLAND'S GREATEST AND BEST CHRISTMAS STORE! Ml A Safe Christmas Shop In a local paper's "3sTote and Comment" column recently reference was made to an immense water tank that shut off the view from the win dows of their editorial rooms of the snow-capped Mount Hood. That big water tank forms the Spex of our new five-story steel fireproof store structure, known as the big Sixth-street Annex. It holds 15,000 gallons of water that could be poured through the automatic fire-sprinklers that form a network on the ceilings over every floor throughout the three great buildings that go to make up Ihis, Portland's largest store, and an instant- would suffice for extinguishing any inaiffient blaze that might ever get a start in these -stores. Again, not only is our building of steel, but also of fireproof cement that you couldn't set on fire any more than you could the Pacific Ocean. There's not an inflammable ma terial in all its construction. Great fire-doors of heavy iron close at the touch of a button, shut ting off one building from the other; and ele vators of a hundred capacity run every minute from top to ground floors. Now you see why this building was so long in reaching completion There's mighty detail in its construction de tail and construction that have made it the only PAW.
