They tbt Old I'ortiand she ain't cot tyle, She's stria all tho while, sll the while! Style? Why, you should have seen diem come yesterday! Everything from six - thousand - dollar limousines to baby carriages, to say nothing of the jolly folk that surged in from the street. It was a clean, clear, snappy November day, and everyone felt good. Buy? Of course they bought! Don't tell me the country has gone to the dem nition bow-wows. Why,' it looked like a run on a bank only the money was coming in instead of going out. Receipts 50 per cent above last year at this time, and still coming. There's a why! m People have the money, and they're putting- it into circulation' here at Aronson's simply because they can't resist these prices. (Remember Old Man Portland and his check book?) Came a man yesterday raises dollar wheat among- the golden hills and valleys of Eastern Oregon. Had a "roll" in his inside pocket. Saw a diamond in the win dow a big solitaire that flashed an invita tion as he passed by. Stepped inside and pointed it out to Rueff, the big, g-ood-natured, auburn-haired diamond expert, who can feel of a diamond in the dark and tell what it's worth. 'Twas a $1000 stone cut to $750. Our tall friend peeled off seven centuries and an "L" and walked out with the diamond on his finger. "That's softer than raising wheat," quoth he. One lady paid $165 for a diamond out of her pin-money allowance. Didn't need it, but it looked to her like a mighty good investment, and it was. And bend you ear down and let me whisper! There were five or six blushing young couples in the store yesterday looking at diamond rings. Aronson knows. He went through it some years back. He "just ushers them into the diamond blue-room, calls for Rueff and a few cases of soli taires, and lets Nature take her course ! And what a lot of delighted exclamations comes through the keyhole! But Cupid is on guard at the door and none may enter. Diamonds? Why, look at these! A $50 diamond-mounted bracelet, $36.50. A $125 diamond-mounted bracelet, $89.50. A $400 cluster diamond ring, $297.50. A $500 diamond mounted platinum lavalliere, $364.50. A $600 solitaire diamond ring, $434.50. A $10.00 diamond lavalliere, $5.85. A $12.50 diamond lavalliere, $7.85. A $17.50 diamond lavalliere, $13.85. A $75.00 diamond mounted platinum lavalliere, $56.50. A $125 diamond mounted platinum lavalliere, $93.75. A $50 diamond ring, $36.75. A $100 diamond ring, $68.50. "I am selling some of my diamonds for less than I can duplicate them for in the diamond mar ket today," says Aronson. Then there was the gentleman from' Salem who bought a silver tea set, and then kept on buy ing until he had such a lot of packages that he said he'd be switched if he'd carry them home people would take him for Santa Claus " and think it was Christmas instead of Thanks giving. So Mrs. Aronson sent it all downstairs and had it neatly packed and boxed and sent it up to Salem by express. That household wont need a turkey it can just feast its eyes on silver. AH of Aronson's sterling hollow ware averages about 25 less than the normal price, and the plated ware about 33 less. A mighty tidy saving! I Went window-shopping again yesterday and here are some of the things I saw in Aronson's windows: Gold-plated bracelets cut from $5 to 95c. $1.00 gold-filled cuff buttons, 65c. Solid gold rings that have been priced up as high as $5.00 marked down to $1.00. $3.50 solid gold cuff buttons at $2.35. Solid gold baby rings that have sold up to $1.25 for 50 cents. $12.50 solid gold brooches set with genuine cameos, $8.65. $3.50 leather belts, with ster ling buckles at $1.85. $7.50 leather traveling sets, at M- 85. , $20.00 sterling fruit dishes for $9.85. $12.00 sterling fruit dishes for $6.85. A $20 Bterling vase for $14.50. Time is money. That's what I used to write in my copybook, but time isn't much money at Aronson's. You can buy all you want of it at prices like these: $17.50 bracelet watches, 15 jewel, $10.85. $10 bracelet watches for $5.85. $83 diamond set bracelet watches, $63.85. $30 bracelet watches, 14-karat gold, $21.35. $33 Rockford watches for only $19.75. $26.50 Rockford watches for $15.85. $95 Howard watches for only $79.50. $75 Howard watches for $59.50. $60 Howard watches for $49.50. $40 Howard watches for $29.50. -$12 Waltham clocks in leather cases, $9.35. $30 Seth Thomas clocks with chimes, $22.50. $5.50 clocks with sterling case, $4.75. $5 clocks in cut-glass case for $3.75. Remember, good folk, Aronson needs the money more than he does the goods. Do you think he'd be doing this if he didn't? Shop early, and nobody will step on your toes. We open at nine we close at six. We've got to get our "forty winks" tonight. Must keep our good looks, you know. And, as they used to say in the New York Ledger, "To be continued in our next."
