' THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL STORE A WORLD-COMPASSING, DISTANCE-CONQUERING ORGANIZATION to whom a thousand 'miles are but a single step, i remendous strides have heen made in the development of this "Old Homestead'' RELIABLE STORE since the daysoi ! itsfounder. Storekeeping has become a developing science none the less accurate because progressive mIu-l -T-1 GYis one of the points of its remarkable progress. It is much simpler to plod along a well-blazed path than to strike out boldly into undiscovered territory. Oregon might yet be unknown Portland unfounded and this great store unheard of, had it not been for the spirit of discovery and progression that stirred the minds of Lewis and Uark and would not allow the "gray matter" under their hats to rest until they had opened 'the way for later Pjoneers to come and found their homes in the land where "Rolls the Oregon" and roses bloom throughout the year. With headquarters at 438 Broadway, New York which serves as a hearthstone for our ten Portland buyers who go on there twice a year, or oftener, and two resident buyers who make it their abiding place, we reach out to the markets of the world, collecting the choicest in merchandise from Europe, Asia and our own country. WE LINK TOGETHER THESE GREAT WORLD MARTS OF FASHION and worthy merchandise with Portfand in Oregon and her 1 best store.

The world's markets are open to the power of cash ifor those who seek. Bargains are'but "finds" the accidents of business, or made to order for purposes of stimulating trade. With our forces exceeding that of all other Portland stores combined of hunters in the Eastern market hunting-grounds is it any wonder we stand ready at all times to back our claims of best values always best merchandise best quality and the BEST STORE?

We learned a trick from the stocking makers, who weave a double amount of yarn into heel and toe. We've had sheets made on same, principle the muslin doubly thick in the center of the sheet. It leads to the sheet wearing equally well all over. Many housewives have to split sheets after awhile and put the center outside; one domestic econ omist advocates putting the bottom "sheet on the befd crosswise. That helps, but doesn't entirely overcome the trouble. The Economy Sheets are used in the regular way and they take care of themselves. We have obtained the sale of these sheets for Portland and urge every housekeeper hotel man and rooming-house manager to call here during the week and note their advantages.
