"Store Managers' Sale"
What It Means
This store has entered upon a new era, a larger field, a
mightier capacity. "We have outgrown the swaddling clothes
of provincial storekeeping and entered the arena occupied only
by the giants of American merchandising. We have become,
and are recognized today by the manufacturers of the world,
as well as our neighbors at home, as the Marshall Field Store
of the West. This means much to you and to us. You expect
better service we must give it. You expect Jarger stocks than
elsewhere they are here. You expect lower prices and better
qualities than can be found in other stores here, too: Now, to
J get all this there must be the best of MANAGEMENT. We're
going to give it you. The old yar is drawing to a close. It has
been a prosperous one with us. Sales have increased, the store
has enlarged, expenses have grown, of course; with increased
expenses MUST come increased sales. The good store ship
must be manned and officered with the best material this broad
country affords. We cannot be satisfied with anything but-the
best service. The coming year, with its great World's Fair here
i
in Portland, demands that we; as Portland's largest and best
store, should furnish a -service second to none iu America. We
aim to do it. We're going to put our present managers to the
test this week and until Christmas. We're going to investi
gate the personal business capacity of every one' of them. We're
satisfied our goods are bought lower and owned by us at less
than equal qualities owned by any other Western house.
These facts justify us in expecting best RESULTS, which means
immense selling. If changes are necessary we shall make them
when we open the New Year's books. So we place our managers
on the scales this week, and by the results they give us they
shall be judged. We turn over to each one from tomorrow until
closing time of Saturday, December 24, the ABSOLUTE control
of his or her department. We give them all carte blanche to do
as they -please with their stocks. We give them to start, the
biggest and best stock of holiday and staple goods on the Coast.
They may sell them as they please, at cost or below and as
much below as they wish. We stipulate only to make the sale
an unprecedented success j that (contract goods alone excepted)
. EVERYTHING AIUST be sold LOWER THAN EVER BEFORE
in this city by any store. By the AMOUNT OF THEIR SALES
only at the end - of the next 18 business days we shall pass on
their merits. Their executive and selling reputation is on trial.
In order to provide further incentive for them to make low
prices and smash every previous selling record
We Shall Divide $100
in Gold
On New Year's eve among the three managers' who show the
biggest percentage of gain in SALES over the corresponding
period last year. We guarantee this event to furnish the great
cst bargain aggregation ever offered by any house in this coun
try AT ANY SEASON of the yean And this is December
Christmas buying time. We pledge our word that for every .
normal dollar's worth of goods you buy of no matter what
description between now and Christmas, you'll save from 25c
to a half-dollar by buying it here. The monster stpeks, includ
ing EVERY DOLLAR'S WORTH OF CHRISTMAS GOODS,
arc at your mercy and our managers. WHOLESALE PRICES
will rule for just three weeks. Our name binds this contract
made this day between us, our public and our managers.

milliner. Mr. Hamburger don U
want much that he don't some
how get. Besides wanting the
heads and they must be wom

money that's coming. This looks
as though he might buy some
"smokes" for his friends on
New Year's for the young man
does not smoke, and has no
other bad habits (he can help) that the writer knows
of. Anyhow, the competitive fever has taken hold
strong on the
MILLINERY SALONS Second Floor, New Annex.
Saleswomen and trimmers have banded together to get that money for their popular
.manager. To outdo every department in the store is their aim and they're good shots.
The millinery section is a winner, anyhow, at all times. Keep your eye on it now. Mr.
Hamburger states he'll take a big loss now, for he's had a wonderful season and can
afford it, so he offers as a mild sort of starter, for Monday only
