There is a deal of experimenting going on. Some stores experiment with facts, others with figures. Not so, here. If we quote s. price, depend upon it, it's right. If we announce a reduction, depend upon it, it's true. If we recommend a style, depend upon it, it's correct. Dependability is the strongest feature of this store. Only One Man Out of Every Ten Gets as good toggery as he pays for. Perhaps only one out of twenty. We're speaking of Portland men who do their buying for men never shop" in Portland stores. The reason is that only about that part of the city's male population trade here. Consequently, only one man out ot ten or twenty is as well dressed as his means will afford. Now, that's frank isn't it? The only reason is that about 90 or 95 men out of a hundred have an an tipathy against trading in a "department store," and they pay dearly for that feeling. The prices here are from 10c to 25c, on an average, less than men's specialty houses ask for same grades in a regular way except on contract goods. And then the opportunities offered by our special sales are numerous. Women are wiser than men and bet ter buyers that's why women throng this store daily. Take a lesson from your wife, your mother, your sister, Mr. Man, in your buying. It will pay you and increase our men's business rapidly. Our men's store is by itself, away from the crush of other aisles, light, handy and airy right at the Sixth-street entrance. Get wise, Mr. Man "Do it Now." This week in the MEN'S TOGGERY.

IN THE WOMEN'S FANCY GOODS SHOPS First Floor. THE NEW SPRING RIBBONS ARE READY. They reflect the period of Marie Antoinette and Madame Pompadour. The influence of Marie Antoinette and her time, sifting through the centuries, may be seen in the soft new ribbons on display today. Louis XYPs Queen ruled the fashionable world She was fond of dres3 and full of invention. It was due to her ingenuity that many new colors were brought out, such as " Paris mud," " burnt opera-house," "flea color." In ribbons the most fashionable colors were called by her "stifled sigh" which was apple green with white stripes a "sign of hope" we may imagine this rose color; "a sunken eye," "an instant' ' and "a conviction." Every one wore ribbons, and tiny flowers were seen everywhere. SOFT RIBBONS. No such poetic names for the ribbons of this Spring, but it is safe to say they are far more beautiful in texture and weave than Marie An toinette ever saw. Soft, pliant taffeta rib bons and the beautiful " blends shading as from a pale flush down to a deep rose pink, are hot favorites. Moire ribbons, it is said, will bo again in fa vor; Roman stripes are back for children, and the little old-fashioned picot, which is here once more. . Ribbons have been out of fashion for so long that it is refreshing to see how they are being used on all the new gowns for Spring and Summer.
