13 TO ,000 WHO MILID T mi M THE Or to the two times 13,000, or to. the three times 13,000, whatever the number, since the crowd who tried to honor us with their presence has been estimated as high as 50,000, we want to express our regrets in the most forceful lan guage conceivable. The fact that thousands and tens of thousands could not get in our store, could not even get with in a block of it, was the one regretable feature of the 'occasion. In fact some special friends of the advertising manager who came all the way from Salem to assist in the reception and entertainment of our guests were unable to get near enough to the door to communicate with us. The great crowd is the talk of the city, and it surely astonished us, al though we had estimated an attendance of 10,000. Even the weather after floods and snow storms played to our lucky 13. We wish to extend a special invitation to those who failed to get in to i . . . ' CALL AND INSPECT QUE NEW STORE AND THE Z9 PRESENTS Which will be on exhibition all the rest of the week. Even though you had no opportunity of getting a coupon which would have given you a chance for a present, we know that you will be glad to know that others really participated in an honest distribution of high-class, valuable presents, that they will get ' much more valuable presents than were promised. i TOTAL YAMJE 01 THE PRESENTS $697.25 Although only "Over $400" was promised. We advertised 13 Presents worth not less well, while if the case were just reversed, both would be happy. In other-words, we might than $13.00 each, 13 Presents worth not less than one-half of $13.00, and 13 Presents make 36 wrong guesses, whereas a rearrangement would please all. Therefore winners in worth not less than one-third of $13.00, but we were so highly honored, there came so many thousands of people over and above the 10,000, we had previously estimated, that we will give away no present worth less than $13.00. Number 13 and 1313 will each get a fine Turkish Rocker, genuine number one leather, full Harrington springs, and made by Karpen Brothers, worth not less than 3 times $13.00. Num ber 2613 will get an elegant large Birch Mahogany Chair, upholstered in genuine number one leather, worth not less than 2 times $13.00. The other 36 presents are worth not less than $13.00 each. We will not assign a particular article to each person, for we might give Mrs. A. something she would not like so well, and Mrs. B. something she did not like so the first series 113 to 1213 will get first choice in the order in which they call and se lect, as we could not wait for each to call in rotation, for 113 might not come in till after all the others had called. Winners from 1413 to 2513 will get second choice in the same manner, first come, first served after those above mentioned have made selection. From 2713 to 3813 the same method will obtain. However, those offered first choice must select same before 9:30 Thursday night, those offered second choice must make se lection between 8 A. M. Friday and 9:30 P. M., and those offered third choice will have from 8 A. M. till 9:30 P. M. Saturday. Those of first and second series who fail to come in on day set aside for them will take their chances with the others who are selecting on the other days. This is the most equitable method we can figure out.
