WAR
On the JAPS!
The Contraband of
War seized by our
buyer and sent to this Portland
store! $6000 worth of splendid new
1904 Japanese Silks for $4000.
ANNEX FIRST FLOOR. THE RESULT OF A
MONSTER JANUARY PURCHASE AT OLD PRICES,
OF THIS NOW ALMOST PRICELESS HAND-MADE
SILK by our long-headed, ever-alert New York buyer,
who had his ear to the ground and heard grim war
rumbling in the Orient two months ago. Here's silk that
Russia can never get, no matter what the outcome of the
present unpleasantness in the East. Our astute buyer
has saved thousands of dollars to Portland folk, for he
bought these silks in January, long before little Japan
nulled the bear's ear hard enough to make him howl and
at a bargain price, even for those peaceful days, for the
quantity was large. Six thousand big American dollars go a long way in Japan. So,
out from Fukin-Ken came the silks, direct to this store, making it headquarters for
these beautiful, durable, washable, hand-made silks, so much demanded by fashion
for making up into Spring apparel for beautiful American women for all the North
west. In" fact, we've heard of no other store in America with foresight enough to buy
sufficient quantities of this charming fabric to supply the demand; and we've already,
offers for our purchase from a large Eastern house that would yield us a handsome
profit. But our acumen is not for them. 'Tis for our own public's benefit, and bene
fit they will here now at this
Monster Silk Sale
The Japs produce perfect work by slow methods we produce the best results
with rapid transit facilities. Every operation moves like clockwork system here is
developed to the highest point, and it's all to your benefit, reader. THIS SALE
PROVES IT. See the window displaw then do yourselves the treat to feast your
