with irresistible force to the tasteful and fashionable folk who make up thp
clientele of Portland's largest and best style store. This is the only store in

excellence in value and desirableness of styles in last Spring's and Summer's

now on display left the makers' hands less than two weeks ago. We take pride
in inviting the critical inspection of the more discerning of Portland's fashion
followers. ' We offer for their inspection, the newest, freshest, smartest and
largest stock of Women's Fall Attire ever shown, in the Pacific Northwest.
