Glorious Atttttmn Reception
ATTEND OUR "AT HOME" THIS WEEK
Throughout this page are scattered invitation cards, each one is meant for you the latchstring hangs on the outside of this good "Old Homestead" Store this week, we're gaily, gladly
decorated in handsomest, most brilliant array of Fall fashions and colorings for A GLORIOUS RECEPTION OF DOUBLE PURPOSE AND MEANING. 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-

Autumn Millinery Splendor
Opens This Week
f (Second Floor.)
The new Hats have been coming for days past. Our millinery
chief (whose superior knowledge of what is right for fashionable
women's headwear, and taste in selecting it, does not live on this
American continent) is home again. 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.
