A Worth-While Sale

important event of my successful
business career to show the public

An Interior Viexo of the First of the Shops Which
During the many
years I have catered
to the clothing needs
of the Pacific North
west I have recognized the
merit and worth of Oregon fabrics. For
years I have been shipping Oregon
woolens to my factory in New York
and spending a good share of my time,
there in supervising the making. This
took lots of time and cost lots of money.
By means of the new factory
this cost will be eliminated, which
means a substantial saving to the con
sumer. It means much more, for the
reason that 75 per cent of the money
paid out for clothing made from Ore
gon fabrics and manufactured in Port
land will remain at home instead of
going back East.
"Oregon Buckskin CI oth" that
wears like buckskin and is pure wool
throughout is being made for me by the
Thomas Kay Woolen Mills of Salem,
the Eugene Woolen Mills of Eugene
and the Brownsville Mills of Browns
ville. From a splendid assortment of
patterns in these cloths and from fancy
worsted cloths have my tailors made
three thousand of the finest-fitting and

There is big demand on the Pa

tion to supply this demand with cloth

What Portland needs is factories to
