THE MORNING OREGONIArN, 8ATBR&AT. FEBRUARY IS, 1905. r"'" 1 C". - PORTLAinrS LARGEST FOREMOST STORE THE SENSATIONAL I SUPPORTED BY A SURPASSING AGGREGATION OP MATCHLESS VALUES IN EVERY SECTION ON EVERY FLOOR TEN HOURS OF TREMENDOUS SELLING! For, remember, THIS STORE CLOSES AT 6 P. M. today as on all days. It's all hypocritical poppy cock for a store in this 20th. century to say they "keep open, to accommodate the masses of workers." The fact that every store of any account in every large city of this broad free country DOES close EVERY even ing at 6 o'clock, or earlier, shows the absurdity and falsity of such a ridiculous statement. For 'tis to the working masses these stores owe their Tery life. And 'tis the workers that benefit from the early-closing hours of this modern, progressive store. This is our "honest, straight-from-the-shoulder view of the matter, from a down-to-date viewpoint.. Other good merchants may differ a privilege allowed by the Declaration of Independence but should YOTJ favor OUR view please shop before 6 P. M. on Saturday.

Earl o Chcstcrtieltl. Ilave you ever realized the value of odd moments? It has lieen stated tnat th average man spends nine hours out of 24 In. work, nine In sleeping and eating, and the remaining six In recreation. In one year this spare time amounts to the equivalent of 91 days of 24 hours each. Just think of It! -Ninety-one days spare time each year at your disposal to do with as you please! What are you doing with this spare time? Is It spent in the pur suit of pleasure or in aimless, misdirected effort? Your spare time Is worth money to you If you know how to cash it. It is the holidays, the even ings, the, spare moments that try character. Somronc has. said: "Find out how a young man .spends the hours between supper and bedtime and you can accurately foretell his future." If you have been wasting your spare time, stop! Use" it to better your condition to get out of a poorly-paid position into one that means a better salary and greater opportunities. It won't take so much of your time, elther.i An hour a day put In in good, earnest, definite study will, in from six to nine months, advance you in botli place and salary.
