BRILLIANT OPENINGS VERSUS DARK WAREHOUSES LEGITIMATE PROFITS VERSUS FORCED REDUCTIONS All our Paris and New York novelties in ready-to-wear Gar ments, Costumes and Millinery should have been shown to the Portland Public under most brilliant circumstances and surroundings many days -ago. Instead of that, with our building dismantled and flooded, we were glad to find a place of refuge for those dainty, ele gant creations in Holman's wardjouses. All our early Spring plans were frustrated; everyttofflMksy-turvy. Elegant novelties iMikeen sold weeks ago are just released from the uKred not bring them into our stores until now, asfHpht come to them. We are the last to show ourBHHJKmplete line of novelties. We labor under a great disadvantage. We will not in fact, cannot afford to carry over these novelties until next Spring. We cannot expect any right-minded person to rush in and help us. to speedily, get rid of these delayed novelties unless they do so at a most decided advantage to themselves. We expect to win a - .bril liant battle with our novelties. We' will at least make a: successful retreat. Every woman in Portland interested in New York and Paris novelties in ready-to-wear garments of all kinds and millinery will find stupendous bargains in just the kind of very choice merchandise that is most highly prized by all persons of refined 'taste. Style, elegance and fashion will not influence our price-cutting. Cost will not be considered. OUR NOVELTIES MUST GO AT ONCE, AND ALL OF THEM MUST GO. Come here expecting most fascinating bargains. You will be more than surprised. CONCERNING STAPLE GOODS Not one dollar's worth, of our stock of merchandise, and the amount runs up into the hundreds of thousands, will be allowed to remain in our stores. - It is our firm determination to start the Fall season with xan entire new stock, and all our. present stock is being sacrificed. . -j K IN ANSWER 'TO MANY INQUIRIES Are all your new Jackets, Coats and Monte Carlos re duced? .They are.
