The cold weather we expected in early November failed to materialize, and blanket sales were much slower than they should have been, so we've gone through our stock of blankets and selected 31 styles, approximating a total of $10,000, and reduced these in a remarkable manner, the savings averaging one-fourth and one-third. It's an opportunity to pur chase high-grade bedding that offers savings greater than the Portland public have ever known. Insistent need for immediate disposal brings about this extraordinary state of affairs, and bear in mind that it concerns only blankets of the better grade. Fine wool blankets in white and every color in which they are made. Wise shoppers will supply their bedding wants now for years to come, for bedding like this is not likely to be sold again for prices as small as these. $13.50 grade selling for $9 00 $15 grade selling for JQ Q only P7-0 $170 grades selling for $11 5 Q Fawn, gray and vicuna Blan- f0 1 C kets, 3 lots, regularly $4.50 pr. pO iO and Blankets, worth $3.25 $3.50; special, pair Three lots at $4.50; special, the pair Blankets, worth $5 and $5.50; special at Those worth $6 and $6.50; special Blankets, worth $7 and $7.50; special at Those worth $8 and $8.50; JCj gg Blankets, worth $9.50 and $10; dfi OC special at pU.OiJ .$2.45 $3.15 $3.98 $4.45 $5.15 $6 grade selling for only $7 and $7.50 Blankets for only $8.50 grade, special at only ..$4.45 ...$4.95 ......$5.75 Thousands of 'Kerchiefs V!
