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.

IfnoTi- the trnc value of time; aaatck, seize nnd nse every moment oC it."
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.
We provide the opportunity, and will furnish all needed text-books FREE
with scholarship In the I. C. Schools to the person selected In thlB voting
contest. A vote with every 25c purchase. Contest closes at 6 P. M., Sat
urday, April 22. No votes for employes of this house will be counted. The
reason Is obvious.

Values Almost Unbelievable!
Bargains Absolutely Unparalleled!
Gainful transactions that are simply nnmatchahle await today's patrons. An awful, tre
mendous sacrifice on women's ready-to-don garments that surpasses any offering of any sort
ever handed to Portland women. It's an almost "help yourself sale." You'll hardly believe
.your eyes when you read the prices; you'll marvel still more when you see the splendid garments
those prices are attached to. Happy, satisfied throngs, were here today, and even greater ones
will come tomorrow to this Veritable Slaughter Sale. It is the quickest moving: o merchandise
ever known in the West, if not in America. If you've been on the second floor this week you'll
know the reason for such wholesalo massacre of. prices. Those who've been here know that
pandemonium reigns. Carpenters and painters have complete possession. Scaffolding is every
where, and business is driven into a corner. There's a hurly-burly and a hubbub that's posi
tively frightful.
Magnificent Garments
ARE IN DANGER!
We've been compelled to move every' piece of merchandise on the
floor. Now, if you can stand the discomfort of mingling with the
workmen and their noise, and wending your way under scaffolding
and ladders, you'll be privileged to share in the greatest distribution
,of bargains ever attempted in the West. The goods must be got out
of harm's way, no matter what the loss. We prefer to benefit onr
patrons than to risk a loss by damage during the renovations going
on. We'll lose hundreds of dollars in this sale yes, perhaps thou
sandsbut you'll be the gainers. Be amongst the early ones.
