illations governing the alleged Black
Hand organization, threatening: letters

Banana and 'Faithful Friends." the con
stitution provides penalties of death,
stabbing two to five cuts with a knife,
branded on the body, designation of
"traitor" or "swindler," or deprivation
of a share in the profits for three
months, according to the gravity of an

Among the offenses mentioned were
cowardice, failure to use the knife as

to harm a re How-member or his family,

Sale of Edition de Luxe Set of Books
Yesterday without an advertisement or any formal announce
ment of a sale, we had one of the largest sale days in edition de
luxe sets. 4
During December we held two sales and can state without fear
of contradiction that they were the most successful ever held by
any store in Portland.
We told of the greatest values, of the unusual price reductions.
Laid particular stress on the quality of paper and printing. Asked
close inspection of the leather bindings. Invited criticism of the
illustrations. We were postitve that all would pass muster.
Tomorrow we offer 100 edition de luxe sets and call your atten
tion to the editions, to the binding, to the printing, the very best
grade of paper, the illustrations, the book work. We also call your
attention to the numbered editions numbered for the reason that
only a limited number of sets were published. We also call your
attention to the name of George Saintsbury, the best known of all
translators of foreign authors, to Gebbie & Company, to the John
Grant editions, to Boswell's Johnson, edited by Augustine Birrell.
To determine and satisfy yourself on the wonderful values that
we offer in these sets, we ask you to make comparisons through
out the city. The immense values offered by our book store will be
more appreciated than ever. Our advice make comparisons
loses none of its wisdom by repetition.
