X APIDLY changing world conditions have affected every phase of our National business and social life. Effects are especially noticeable in' busi ness. I Prices soar and continue to soar until we some times wonder how long the people will continue to pay. CJ Competition in all lines grows keener and manufac turers, wholesalers, retailers stop at no expense neces sary to "make the sale." Our business is no exception to this rule. I But we feel that the time for a change f or a revision downward a reaction for the better has come. I We cannot change our line of business because 'life is too short to learn more than one business well." J Therefore we have decided on a radical change in our sales policy an immediate and permanent change a change, in effect, that must come and come soon in the business world generally. J It means simply this the HIGH COSTS OF SELLING MUST BE REDUCED. mi - iipp ' iiiiiiiim Hii iii ii mii! llll i iiiiiiiin 111111111! 11111111111 1111111111 iiii iiii iii! iiiiiiiiiii iiii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11111111111 I iiii l llll II ll ll I I I I I I I I I I BBBw 11111111111 TFN iiii 1J 1111 H "0 I I I I I I I I I I I mm tssi ess ask 1 N All our tine i-sv 111! $25 to $35 ) ) Y Bll CHESTERFIELD JJ lll Suits and X j ll Overcoats - . . ..

Get that thor oughly burned into your consciousness. J There is an old maxim which runs thus : "Many hands make light work." We have applied this rule to our business and it works out logically. Never mind the story it's too long to tell you now. I In effect, a single sentence as follows will serve to briefly illustrate: I The average clothing salesman in Portland could under proper conditions and an efficient system sell 5 times the number of suits that he now averages daily. 1 We for one propose to stop this wholesale waste right here and now.. And this is the way with your help that we propose doing it. 1$ "Necessity hath no law." J New conditions evolve new forces and make necessary new and radical changes. J When you read what follows you will realize that "see ing is believing" and that the "clouds" of high prices on clothing in Portland of the very highest class have lifted. Here out in the sunlight in the light of a reputation for integrity that we have been very jealous of in Portland for 14 years is the story briefly: O Saturday, April 21,-1917 And continuing next week, next month, next year, every year We start a new, radical and permanent sales policy a policy that means a large volume of business at a small percentage of profit a comparatively small profit on each sale, but many, many of them as follows: All our fine $37.50 to $50 CHESTERFIELD Suits and Overcoats Our price every day in the year Not a single garment was bought to sell with any other thought in mind than selling it in the regular way at prices up to $50.00 ! ! ! I ! THIS is not in any sense a special sale. It is an epochal event signif icant of big things in keeping with stirring times the final denouement of a policy that we have carefully worked out and perma nently adopted. .Therefore, no more special or clearance sales here. . Those Wlto Desire Early Choice Should Attend Early Absolutely nothing held . in reserve everything goes including new Winter weight suits, etc. . Washington a.t West Park Sport Clothes Shop for Men and Women Also! Under this new policy we will nat- urally have to sell for cash only. Thus you secure efficiency and enjoy economy procurable in no other way. iniMinniMniMHiiniiMiiiiniiMiiiniiiiiiininiiiiiiMiiiMiiuMiiUHunniniMnnii iiiiimiiiMiimiiiiiiiiimmmiiiiiiiminiiimiiiM iiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiii i . i.1 iiiiiiiiiiMiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim inniiiMHiHimumntHiuiiimiiHiiiHiuiuin I I IIM U M II lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 minim in iiii i r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 f 1 1 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii llllllllllllllllllllllllllir: lillilllllllllllllllllllllliir: French Consul Addressee Patriotic Meeting at Forest Grove.
