Jimq I m Notable Arrivals-Spring Novelties Special Values Sometimes wc think the public is to be pitied. The public's car is held by a throng of advertisers, each pouring in a tale of large economics of almost philan thropic endeavor on the part of the stores. And so much of the tale is born of ig norance, or depends on the public's carelessness for acceptance. In the light of facts, wc could challenge many of the announcements made by our local competitors not as perhaps being absolutely untrue, but as woful exaggerations. Personal comparison of stocks and values tells the whole truth to the whole public, and people shop around we know that, because our business is growing so fast and we're selling so many new people every day people who have looked around and found the store where money goes farthest. Sometimes-we even fear our ads are not broad enough, because addressed to too small an audience. Almost the sole topic is bargains, bargains. Yet it connot be doubted that many women are less interested in values than novelties. "With them economy may be less a desideratum than exclusiveness. Yet they don't want to be robbed. Hence, today we're giving more space to news of latest arrivals advance couriers of Spring fashions. The time is ripe, the new merchandise is here and we begin to tell of it its beauty, its style, its cxclusiveness. "Bargains?" Oh, yes ! in plenitude. More unadvertised than told of. All materials used by one of Portland's leading modistes in the creation, of the mag nificent gown to be worn tomorrow evening by MISS MARY ADELL CASE at her CON CERT at MARQUAM GRAN D THEATER are from this great "Style Store."

Bernard, who has been for the past six weeks in New York City, and who purposely delayed their production until the very last moment, that each garment might have the latest touches demanded by Dame Fashion. The latest tips that Paris, Berlin, London and New York have to give you'll see here Monday at prices much less than the worth the smart, fashionable, trim and trig crea tions represent The collection is in itself fine and interesting, as it is authoritative as to style.
