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. "Big Store" in Portland in which to shop
during the congestion incident to Christmas
Snopping. ne cmiaxen axe saier nuie uuui xu
the schoolrooms; and it's "Liberty Hall," too.
Let them come as often and stay as long as they
like, and drink in to its fullness the wonderful
immensity of the surpassing holiday displays.
Be SURE that HERE they're SAFE!

bringing us this basket of plums as a complimentary dessert after the year's banquet. They
hit us at a bad time, however, for tha suit stores are all amuss from the workmen. Under or
dinary circumstances we might sort and -grade these wrappers to sell at three or four prices,
