Gentlemen: In reply to your-letler of recent date, will sa' that the dishes have been received. I scarcely know how to express my appreciation of your kindness in this matter. The dishes were not in the first ship ment, for I did not miss them the evening I unpacked them, but the next morning in looking over the lot 1 discovered that the fruit sau cers were not there, and immedi ately wrote you. I assure you that I appreciate your promptness in this matter and would like to say that this impresses me more favor ably with your store than ever. This was my first trading trip to Portland, and may I add my mite and say that I found your store the pleasantest and best in which to trade? Yours very truly. Signed "NEW ADMINISTRATION SALE" OF SHOES A Shoe Sale of Tremendous Importance to Every Individual in Portland Our Shoe Department Changes Management All present stocks to be slaughtered regardless of whether they've been in the store a week only, or a year. New Spring styles suffer equallj with the makes of the past season and there's little change in shoe styles, anyhow, for a year back. But we've changed managers in the Shoelore. MR. S. C. JAMESON Late of Boston and Providence Has been engaged and took charge last week of our big new Shoe Department. For oven 20 years the name of "Jameson" has been associated throughout all the East with the egression of "ONLY GOOD SHOES." Mr. Jameson owned and managed the largest and. leading shoe stores in Boston, Mass., and Providence, R. I., for years. His Boston store was not only the largest in that city, but the handsomest, finest fitted and most elaborately appointed of an- in America. Mr. Jameson is a designer and practical originator of the latest ideas now embodied in the finest makes of shoes in this country. Having disposed of his East ern interests we persuaded Mr. Jameson to take control of this great branch of our "AT YOER SERVICE." S. C. JAMESON. phenomenally growing business. "The best is none too good," is ever our motto, and in' presenting Mr. Jameson to our public, we can truly say, He is the best all 'round shoe man today in the United States, and safely challenge contradiction., Hundreds of Easterners will welcome Mr. Jameson to Portland as an old and valued acquaintance. The condition of assuming charge of our shoe business was that he should have AB SOLUTE control. His first order is, "Sell every dollar's worth of present stocks." We'll let him tell the rest in his own way., " WHAT MR. JAMESON SAYS: "While the present stocks of footwear in the store are well chosen and in splendid shape so far as makes, styles and sizes are concerned, naturally I do .not care to con tinue many lines of another buyer's choosing. The shoe stocks here are (by my own personal investigation) the peer of any in the City of Portland and yet I can better them. My policy will be to start all over new in my way, with stocks chosen by myself. In no other way will I assume the responsibility of making the improvements in hand. Therefore I propose to slaughter the present stocks regardless of whether they've been here a day, a month or a year. Spring business must be done with shoe lines picked by " Yours truly, "JAMESON." Therefore thousands of pairs of shoes fo men, women, misses and children will be sold this week at less than manufacturers' cost! In many cases at less than half!
