"We've' arranged a ribbon special for this week. Starting Tuesday, we offer a lot of fresh, new, bright ribbons, made for this season's high-class trade, but getting into our possession by one of those trade chances that happen only occasionally, at underprice. We turn them over to you thusly: All Silk, in polka dot and Roman stripe, also changeable Satin Taffetas the values are 40c, 45c and 50c a yard. One lot of ex- ' tremely swell Ottoman stripes is included, very wide and a 75c value.

First A reception to you our friends and patrons of long and short duration. Secondly a reception to our little army of buyers who- have returned home from New York America's fashion Mecca bringing along the sheaves of their rich buying harvest. For days and weeks heavy drays have stopped at our receiving warehouse entrances, laden down with cases and huge bundles that, spread out, would oover many city blocks. These were the results of long and careful research among New York's leading importers and manufacturers, atfd the mills and factories stretching from Chicago along to every point of the Atlantic Coast which furnishes a product worthy and suitable to be entered here as an Olds, Wortman & King offering to their pubiic. Our buyers have discarded the DRIFTWOOD that goes tumbling about on the merchandise ocean in dismal disorder, called into being by the blundering mistakes of near-sighted makers who, struggling to save themselves, unload on less experienced buyers than ours, those superabundant cargoes they themselves cannot carry. Such DRIFTWOOD hampers progress. Like the Sargossa Sea, it clogs the way and defiles the path. There are some ocean grayhounds plying the mercantile deep that always reach in safety their destined port and on time. Why? The man at the wheel knows his course. He is alert as well as skillful, and avoids the DRIFTWOOD which others encounter. He keeps his lines "(as we do ours) taut, and carries only merchandise right in quality and right in Fashion's guide-book bearing a down-to-the-minute date. Follow such lead pay no tariff on incompetency! Know your port and steer for it. Keep your compass true and your hand and eye steady steer for this store that has looked so well to your interests, come this week and join in the WELCOME HOME tendered to the men and women who have labored so faithfully and so well for our interests and for YOURS and who have sailed into the home port with cargoes rich in merit in worthiness in glint of newness who have avoided the DRIFTWOOD picked up by less careful mercantile mariners. Come and inspect the cargoes. We're decked for the occasion with appropriate fittings and ballasted with worthy values. Be our welcome guests.

WOMEN'S "DIFFERENT" SUITS AND READY-TO-DON GARMENTS (Second Floor) "How Different are the styles at Olds, Wortman & King's to those shown elsewhere I" What a wealth of meaning there is in the above and "how often we hear this or similar expressions from the women of Portland who appreciate exclu sive ideasj in dress. A greater,, compliment could not be paid this great style store, as it is the best recognition of our leadership we could ask for, and how well we are entitled to this praise. This week comes first FULL Autumn showings of the new fashions. Do you go to a tailor ? Then you are espe cially interested in this showing of new styles. They represent what no indi vidual tailor can show : Authoritative styles, in a considerable variety of finished suits, the style-thoughts worked out to the last complete detail. One takes a panoramic glance at the fashions. More and more women are realizing that the stylish ready-to-wear costume saves them not only in purse, but in time lost in successive tryings-on. And what if, when ordering a suit, the tailor does not transfer his mental view of the suit-that-is-to-be to your mind, and the finished suit isn't what you anticipated ? Here, one chooses with definite knowledge of just how the suit looks. We have been selling Fall suits for some time past they have been going out as promptly as they came in. But complete showings come this week. The long-skirted coat distin-, guishes Fall styles, in fact, is the chief feature of the new suits. It is long in the skirt, and may be a blouse, tight-fitting at back and with a modified fullness; or the coat may be make in long lines and no seam on the hip. There's newness, also, in the sleeves. Materials for Fall and Winter are fancy mixtures with fancy overplaid; some broad "Scotchy" effects included; and Zibelines hairy goods. But Cheviots, Broadcloths and Venetians are too firmly fixed in favor to be easily displaced, and they are as fashionable as ever this Fall. The mixtures show black-and-white, brown-and-white, brown-and-green, and blue-and-red combinations. The plain fabrics are in black, blue and some browns. This store leads in this city in the furnishing of women's feady-to-wear garments. A woman chooses here with a certainty of choosing correctly, whether It be tailored gown or recep- J tion. or evening gown. The prices are fixed to suit all -purses $1.75, along down by easy stages to J- NEW WAISTS FOR FALL WEAR In white or colors, fancy materials and basket weaves; an immense and bewilder ing variety, the grandest, richest showing ever made, even by this (n tj jr waist house.

We've welcomed him, and he's been working hard since his arrival arranging to welcome you' this week. The millinery salon has taken on the aspect of fairy land, while the dainty creations for wear this Fall by women who appreciate exclusiveness and style in millinery which it contains were never paralleled in richness or beauty. The hats will match the new Fall costumes in Napoleonic effect, and take us back in thought to the rule of the beautiful Josephine-at the Court of France. In colorings, also the hats, blend beautifully with the gowns. Among the many lines are the famous Connolly tailored hats and turbans just in also the latest Fall creations in the famous Bendel (French) hats, for which we are Portland's sole agents. As usual, we lead in showings, not only in our city but our supremacy as authority for right millinery is acknowledged, and our leadership west of Chicago is allowed wherever intelligence exists, and it costs no more to wear an Olds, Wortman & King hat than one with .neither a character, a name or an authority for its being.
