Began Yesterday, Ends March 2ft
A year has passed since the O. M. Co. made its first bow to this metropolis, and every
preparation has been made for a proper celebration of the event, one of very great impor
tance to us, and of some weight, we hope, to all Portland. A year is a fair space of time
for the test of a store, and its right to exist a sufficient test to bring out the merits or de
fects of the principles governing its transactions. If the overwhelming success of ' this
establishment means anything, it means that it has stood the test of time, and has earned
the unqualified approval of its constituency. In commemoration of this event, im
portant special offerings are being made in all departments, only some of which will find
room in this announcement enough, however, to convince anyone that this is the great
est money-saving opportunity of the year.

$ I to $2 Kid Gloves, 4ftc
Similar to, but very much better In value than a lot -which created such a
furore here last fall.
They are gloves -which showed slight Imperfections when put to the inspect

hence their name, "Mender's Gloves." For all practical purposes they are
fully the equal of gloves costing double, treble and quadruple as much, A
hurried inspecUon shows such well-known kinds as Trefousse, Treville, Ma
jestic, Dents and others equally high crnd.
There are Just 1200 pairs, over half of" them black; so if you would share In
this great "Anniversary Special" come early.
These are sold "as they are" none fitted, none exchanged. .
