PORTLAND'S
QUALITY
SHOP
ftonauest ! Portland's Greatest Value-Givina and
the People's Popular Shop-Keepers
"FRENZIED MN4SFCE" A MERE MITE AGAINST A MIGHTY TITAN
as compared to the resistless onslaught of the Christmas-shopping brigade upon
this modern merchandising citadel on Saturday. Great guns! What a crush!
The record-breaking days of a week previous were smashed like eggshells un
der the wheels of Juggernaut. We established a new mark, so far ahead of
even our late brilliant achievements they seem like a distant chimera. But
remember that this store is Portland's largest, that it has wider aisles, ample
stairways, more elevators and larger than any "other local store. Investigation
proves that more people enter this store daily than ANY OTHER TWO
STORES'of the city. This store can be thronged, but it can't be crowded. It is
sci'entifically arranged for the handling of many thousands. Every aisle leads
somewhere in no case to a closed comer or cul-de-sac. Every arm of the serv
ice can be, and has been, and will be strengthened and enlarged to meet every
possible demand. Today we advertise for another hundred helpers; they will
increase the force to nearly a thousand think of it! The largest employers
of the best labor in the West. YOUR grand "Old Homestead Store" has
grown to this, and is planning new growth and soon. Mighty stocks are
here and new goods are coming daily. No matter if we were overcrowded with
merchandise; the goods were ordered and we never cancel an honest order.
While other stores "sell down low" at this season and sell at big Christmas
profits this store keeps its receiving rooms open and turns the goods over
to the people fast as they come in for NO PROFIT AT ALL THIS MONTH!
THA -R'SJEONIIST AS TRUTH ITSELF. "Why?" Nevermind. What do
you carei HERE'S A MILLION-DOLLAR STOCK AT LESS THAN
WHOLESALE PRICES ! WE NEVER HAD OR KNEW OF A DECEMBER
BUSINESS WEST OF CHICAGO A GREAT AS THAT SURGING IN
HERE-DO YOU-CAN YOU WONDER ? Read the extra specials for
THE GREAT EVENING SALES TONIGHT and the few mentions allowed
