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.

New Alignment of Economic Forces Reduces the "Broad
Waters of Expense" and Eliminates High Selling Cost
w
E, FOR ONE, propose to
start the great work right here
in Portland NOW! 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.
