LOUIS EXPOSITION THIS SUMMER! The news spread like wildfire and sprang with a bound into public favor, to such an extent that our example has been followed by houses of lesser importance already and, we trust, may be by others ere long, for the idea is splendid, and we are glad to again serve as leaders for slower stores to follow in the cause of the public good. During the progress of this great contest, inaug urated in the educational interests of Portland's boys and girls, and through them, the elders, the same grand matchless values will be given and the bargain game will wax hotter than ever. Honest, superlative qualities will be offered at unparalleled opportunity prices to fortunate buyers. We're starting now to clear the decks for the dismantling soon to follow when the walls come down between the "Old Homestead Store" and her newest child the Sixth-street Annex.

The accompanying cut illus trates the new "Lewis and Clark Exposition' ' Sailor. This novel, jaunty Sailor is original with us and has not only sprung into instant favor locally, but has been copied, extensively East. Some local stores have copied the name but have failed miserably on the stylish lines which go to make upthe beauty of this charming Summer favor ite for 1904. It's so practical it may be worn on nearly all oc casions by dressy women, either for street wear or dress func tions. They have a dash entirely their own, becoming to almost every face.
