THE WEEK'S GREAT LEADING FEATURE OF THE MONSTER CLEARANCE SALES
In the history of Western merchandising or of any other section of coentry for that matter thre has never ben held & sale that sBrpaawd tfck ose in ralnee, Jive eholceness of the coeds, as weU as the tremendous response accorded hy thi
public to genuine, bargains offered. Erery iroaan recegniaes in the Olds, Wortmaa it King Clearance Sales the greatea t bargain opportunities ef the year and disappointments are unknown. Every day fer the past two weeks and over, from opening time
at 8 A. M. till the 6 o'clock closing time, every section. and every floor has been wJwded with delighted customers, who p renounced the bargains the most surpassing of any ever offered, in our city. Sales have been even far beyond our fondest expectations.
And TODAY WE'VE PLANNED A TEAST OF EVEN MORE SENSATIONAL VALUES THAN EVEB.1 '"Ehcosraged by the wosderful success of the past, we're bound to make teday's "Bargain Friday" the biggest of all the year. More sharp
price reducing has been done, and we guarantee y ou more remarkable bargains than at amy time 'during the sale. The advertised values of the week are still here in' good assortments, with these printed, below added. We doubt if there is a womam is Fort
land who has tasted the fruits of savings dispensed here the past week who will not come again today, and bring her neighbor, to share the luscious spread of matchless bargains that await all. Inducements are even greater than we've claimed. Just
have a look-in today and prove it to yourself. V t

-We can honestly say, these Skirts axe absolutely
the greatest values we ever saw at this price. Tliey
are the result of two losses the maker's, and ours.
For we bought 'cm late lit the season a biff lot-
when the manufacturer preferred a 50-cent piece In
hand to a dollar wrapped In skirts. They came late
delayed In transit. If you've beon In the great ap
parel store this week you've noted old fixtures being
torn away, new ones, modern and down-to-date, re-
" placing: them. Carpets are coming up to make room
for new ones to go down. And so wc might go- on
telling of transformations that are to make this great
Apparel Store the grandest west of Marshall Field's,
of Chicago: and actually, the coming Spring, vlelng
with that famous store in beauty, fitting and gran
deur. A store for Portland folk to well feel proud to
bring in their Eastern visitors and say, "This Is OUR
store." Yes. this is coming, and this explains the
slaughter of the stocks we've perpetrated for some
weeks past. And tills
BLACK DRESS SKIRT SALE

to add them an fuel to the bargain flame today.

A VERITABLE BARGAIN BONANZA FOR GLOVE-BUYERS!
Like finding money. Values are thick as hailstones
after an Eastern Winter hailstorm. Think of buy
ing a pair of. perfect fitting, splendid Kid Gloves
that sell regularly at $L00. $1.50. $1.75 and $2.00,
black and color?, in all sires, including-some larger
than regular, at 60c a pair. It's like this: In a
business such as 6ur where' hundreds of thousands
of pairs of gloves are sold and fitted "annually,
there's euro to be some 'that won't pass muster with'
our Inspector on account of a stitch or two dropped
in the sewing. These are laid aside (instead of
being palmed off as perfect, as is the custom with
careless - stores) and carefully mended by an ex
pert, put In a condition equal to the finest and
choicest in the stocks. What then? Put 'cm back
with their fellows? Not this store. No.- They're
shelved until such time as there's quantity enough
for a sale, and sold for what they -are, mended
glove, pood, as the. best, but mended, values to
$2.00. This year's sales today; price of gloves,
