FIFTY-FIVE years under one name; one manage
ment; one broad, relentless policy of fair, honest
merchandising that's the honorable achievement of
which The Meier & Frank Store is duly proud!
There are still several old inhabitants of Portland
who can remember the May in 1857, when Aaron
Meier first opened the doors of that little, modest store
down on Front street. .
From the beginning, there was that ever-dominating policy
of fairness and satisfaction which today has carried the name of
Meier & Frank to the farthest corner of this great Northwest
that has made it possible to transact business clear to the Ha
waiian Islands, to Alaska, to California, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington. Service ! Honesty ! The famous guarantee of perfect satisfac
tion in each and every transaction or your money back 1
We cordially invite our thousands of patrons in Portland and
r nai-t nf tiA Xm-tTiwpst to hp.ln tis celebrate our 55th Anni
versary this month. Savings of most compelling type have been
provided on every kind of timely, wanted merchandise for
