The Corset Store of Portland
From every point EXPERT FITTING, the matter of varieties, the values presented and the
most desirable makes this store is far and away the foremost corset store, not only of this city,
but of all the Pacific Northwest.
Some of the reasons why this supremacy is so pronounced are enumerated below:
I. Lipman-Wolfe's has the only expert trained corsetier in Portland. A corset is not
merely tried on in our fitting rooms, but altered by an expert.
II. More makes and styles are shown here than anywhere else in Portland.
III. Our specialties C. B. a la SPIRITE corsets, NEMO corsets and W. B. corsets are
conceded to be unexcelled by any corsets sold at the same prices in America
IV. Corset fitting here means the careful study of the individual figure advising just
the make and style best adapted to each person providing the corset that best suits each
person
V. Alterations which are occasionally necessary to insure utmost satisfaction are
made here in our own workroom by the only expert corsetier in Portland.
VI. Whatever make of corset may be desired, if it has merit and is reliable, will be
found in our display.
VII. Our superb La Vida corsets, made of Greenland whalebone in this country from
Paris models saving 60 per cent duty.
For these reasons women who care about EXPERT CORSET FITTING and the most UP-TO-DATE
STYLES patronize our Corset Department.

CVSS HARBIN AFFAIR.
Interview Kminently Satisfactory to
Both Side No Further .Friction
in Manchurian City Frobable.
WASHINGTON. April 1 3. Secretary
Root had a long; conference at the
State Department today with the Rus
sian Ambassador. Baron Rosen, the
feature of which was the Manchurian
situation, and in consequence, when
the Ambassador left this afternoon for
New York on his way to Russia, he
bore with him the last words of the
American State Department on that
Important subject. The interview was
eminently satisfactory on both sides.
From the Russian standpoint it was
made plain to Secretary Root that the
350 local Russian officials In Harbin
were deserving of support In their
efforts to rehabilitate that important
trade center and resume the execution
of the ambitious plans that had been
formed by the Russian government for
the development of the city before the
war with Japan.
Therefore, the objection of Arqerican
Consul Fisher to full recognition of
the Russian authority at Harbin was
found to be based rather upon the
form In which the local Russian offi
cials proposed to attain their objects
and not to the objects themselves.
It may be stated that there will be
no further friction between the Ameri
can Consul and the Russian govern
ment at Harbin over this incident.

ter. W. W. Rockhill. It is understood
that the British Minister's conferences
with Viceroys had to do with the Tatsu
Mara incident, and was intended to Indi
cate In a mild way the friendship be
