L, f Sacramento i87o "W ' I 186?: f Potlano'.Cbramch) rsso.
Pioneers can remember the excitement and the wild rush from all parts of the world to California in 1849 and 1850 when the great gold discoveries were made
known. During this great rush Mi. S. Lipman started for the great El Dorado, arriving in San Francisco in the Spring of 1850. Mr. Lipman, with hundreds of others, pro
ceeded immediately to Sacramento, then the starting point to all the discoveries. There, in a small shanty, the business of S. Lipman -was started. From the beginning it
was successful, and year after year added to until it became the largest in Sacramento.
In 1865 a branch store was opened in Virginia City, Nevada, under the management of Mr. Adolphe Wolfe. The firm prospered there also and was famous all
over the coast for its elegant, costly merchandise so much in demand during the Comstock excitement.
In the Spring of 1880 another branch was started in Portland, Oregon, Mr. Adolphe Wolfe leaving Virginia City to assume its management. This branch occupied
65x80 feet of the first floor in the old Dekum building, corner First and Washington streets,. and commenced businsss with a force of eight employes.
In 1882 the force had increased to 15 employes and more room was necessary, resulting in the occupancy of a part of the second floor and the construction of the
first passenger elevator used in a store in Portland. This additional space soon proved inadequate and 111885 the rear waU was removed and the store room for many years
occupied by Mrs. Geo. Clark, the milliner, was added to the main, floor, the number of employes then being 42. These additions were thought to be sufficient for many
years, but in a short period the growing business demanding more space, negotiations were entered into which finally resulted In the erection of the Dekum, corner Third" and
Washington, and our occupying in 1892 theentire basement and first anJ second floors of this magnificent building. The number of employes at this time was 148.
By 1895 the force of employes had increased to over 203 and more space was again absolutely necessary. This need resulted in the erection and occupancy in
1897 of the annex fronting on Fourth street, adding to our floor space the basement and three floors 75x100 feet each giving us just twice as much space and a clear room
extending from Third to Fourth street. At this time the number of employes reached 255. In 1899 over 300 people were on the pay roll, and now in 1900 we have listed on
our pay roll 369 names.
This surely is an object lesson of Portland's growth, undeniably an evidence of "the prosperity of Portland and the Sfate of Oregon.
We fully appreciate the encouragement and patronage of the people of Portland'and Oregon. We want to mark this'era in the business life of Lipman, Wolfe
& Co., and we want you to celebrate this "50th Anniversary" with us.
We want you to remember it. '
So we have set apart from our regular business "Thanksgiving Week" A week in which we will offer to the people of Portland, and Oregon a magnitude of
merchandise at such prices that have never before been offered by any firm. A Jubilee of bargains, a fit ending of a half century's business.
Commencing' Tomorrow and During' tlie Entire THanRsg'iving' Week.
