THE grand Original Educational Con-
test Sole opens at this store tomorrow ::: :::
As stated in last Friday's morning paper, and borne on every tongue, from lip to lip, the theme in every home and school, the one
topic talked of in stores, shops, factories and on the street, since the news was printed OLDS, W0RTMAN & KING will send three of
PORTLAND'S SCHOOL TEACHERS, EVERY EXPENSE FREELY PAID BYTHE FIRM, TO THE BIG ST. 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. Every selling record will be beaten and a pace set in mer
chandising that will be killing to the competition of "PORTLAND'S BEST" CONGRESS STORE.
$10 Go-Carts -t ?

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. We've fixed a popu
lar price upon them of $6.00
they're well worth 7.50.
