Suits that embrace the newest conceptions of New York's smartest man tailors, and, Oh! what
a change there's been in styles. The new ideas fairly compel one's admiration. Every
fashion artist of note is represented but, as usual, only those creations emanating from
artists of recognized style authority will be admitted to this store. Suits of character. You
cannot make a mistake here. Experts have chosen for you and seen to it that every gar
ment in the "Style Salons" has despotical Dame Fashion's seal of approval stamped on it.
The Suits comprising the offering are the newest of the new; none in the store yet 10 days
from their New York makers. Every one strictly man-tailored, from the best shops in the
great Eastern style-rcenter. In two styles, the long Butcher Ooats and Jackets in jaunty
Norfolk effects. Colors are blacks, navys, browns and the ultra popular English and
Scotch, rough, mannish mixtures, shading from light to dark. Materials embrace hand
some pebble cheviots and the mannish stuffs. Trimmings of velvets, braids, fancy novelty
buttons and stitching effects. Some have trimmings, of plain broadcloth in shades to
match materials these in the swell novelty mixtures, forming a very smart effect. The
skirts are 21-gored or kilt-plaited. The mixtures afford k wide color-range, embracing
grays, light to Oxford browns, blues andL greens. The best values ever shown in Port
land at $25 and $28.50 (other houses would say $30 to $35), at a choice Monday $19.85
