ON ALL BUSINESS DAYS (the week preceding Christmas alone excepted), at 6 P. M. Do your New Year's shopping by daylight before 6 P. M. in the Daylight Store. GEORGE ADE, the famous humorist and whilom playwright, once remarked of a farmer for whom he woi'ked: "He is the best boss I ever had. He doesn't ask a mau to do a day's work in ten hours he gives him sixteen." It would seem that many of Portland's minor stores conduct their business on a similar principle, believing it easier for their helpers to do a day's work in a 14-hour Saturday than in. the 10-hour-day of the modern store. No matter low rushed we may be through Clearance, we shall not lengthen storekeeping hours, but close at 6 P. VL, as is usual through the year. Do your Saturday shopping today whenever you do it before 6 P. M. If values like these -affect you, you'll do the bulk of your buying here.
