WE'VE PLACED OUR CONFIDENCE

GOES
In Portland, its future and Its people hence our decision to build
the greatest store in Western America, and we've already commenced
to tear down the five-story building- which occupied the entire half
block bounded by Alder, Fifth and Morrison streets. On this site we
will at once erect a twelve-story Class A structure of the most
modern type. This building will be a marvel to sightseers, as well
as a boon to the shoppers of Portland and the entire Northwest.
We contemplate an outlay of over $1,250,000 to complete this new
structure, which 'will give work to hundreds of men during the con
fctruution period.
To demonstrate our supremacy In the merchandising' field, we
are planning to carry on a series of Stock Reduction Sales to bring
the stock of each department to a minimum. To do this, the most
drastic price reductions ever known in the history of this store
will be in effect, as each department la taken into this phenomenal
event and this Is merely a foreword to our patrons that the Meier
& Frank Store will continue to give them the greatest value for their
money of any institution in tne "v"
entire Northwest, and by this gft
loyal patronage in the past.
