OLD PALEY'S MAXIM was "He alone discovers who proves." This store occasionally throws a glance over its shoulder at the past, as a winning runner, satisfied of first place, shoots a look hack to measure
the distance rearward, to where his nearest competitor is struggling from. Two years ago today this store discovered a way to turn one of the dullest business days of the week into one of the busiest.
Many people doubted the advisability of the experiment, as it involved a tremendous sacrifice of profits; we have certainly proven, however, that we invented something to good purpose when we launched our
first "FKIDAY ECONOMY SALE." The means devised have been found competent to the end proposed. Profits have been cut, but sales have increased in such proportion that the store has gained. A
look backward, over the two most prosperous years ever enjoyed by a Portland store only stimulates us to gather ourselves fdr a fresh dash ahead. This store is everlastingly THINKING AHEAD sure
as anything human-and at it every day. BARGAINS ABE HERE. FOR TODAY IN THIS GREAT WEEKLY ''ECONOMY SALE" THAT WILL ELECTRIFY ALL PORTLAND!
All may share alike in this greatest low price event of the new season. This grand old store was never so ready and so able to help you save before. Watch for the yellow price-cards that serve as guide posts
to hundreds of economy resorts.
