' " - GRAND SALONS OP DRESS Second Tloor.
' LARGEST AND FOREMOST SUIT AND WRAP STORE "WEST OF CHICAGO,
The newest in Spring styles in women's smart Suits and jaunty Jackets is flocking here daily
it's homing time for the new fashions. And the proving ground for Portland is the big salons of
dress on our spacious second floor enlarged to twice the size occupied last season. Forced to
grow by the expansion of the business they contain. You'll meet here this week an assemblage
of the city's best-dressed women, keen critics and impartial judges.
Here you will see the newest American adaptations of French modes Paris thought is ever
the quickening impulse, especially in "dressy" styles. American tailored styles have attained
a development that gives them at least equal authority with Styles from abroad. You may study
these American tailored fashions as well as costumes of home origin that are practical as -well as
beautiful.
An Impressive Showing Is Ready
Though not a complete array, as yet. The new styles will be unfolding as Spring advances as do the petals of a rose when the sun
coaxes. But you depend on this store for earliest forecasts of fashion, and these first inklings are of authentic .styles, selected
with a certainty that comes -with access to the jeaJouslyguarded secrets of fashion; a knowledge that has made and keeps
Olds, Wortman & King the paramount authority on dress.
It's to be a fancy season in tailored style. Put that down .as a certainty. The erstwhile severely simple tailored lines are
lost in the elaborations of plaits, shirrings and ornate trimmings tailored styles have almost the effect of frocks. No woman
need be disappointed of her cherished wish as to stylo, either the diversity of choice is so wide. There are blouse jackets in the.
soft effects so much liked; there are Etons; Suits ivith the coffee-coat effect; short box styles, and the staple fitted back coat
of semi-fitted coat. But, whatever the style, look for broad shoulders, sleeves full at top and to elbows and ending in cuff, gauntlet
or cuff effect, as a rule. But there! We could fill the page with talk of what's new. Come and see and enjoy the show, whether
ready to buy now or not.
NEW STREET SUITS.
In jacket, Eton, blouse and tightrfitting effects, in
materials of homespun, serges, cheviots, panno
Vheviots, broadcloths, "Panama cloths, mohairs
and handsome exclusive patterns in mannish
mixtures. A full color .line embracing blues,'
grays, browns, greens, tans, blacks, mixtures
and the ultra fashionable shepherd plaids and
checks. The price range is wide. No matter
whether it's the modest tailored suit at $12.50
or the more elaborate grades ranging along by
easy price steps to the aristocrat at $125.00.
Each suit is best at its price.

Who sets the fixed values on undermuslins? Standard, depend
able stores of the Olds, Wortman & King class do they not ? ' We
have known some undermuslins -we sold regularly at $2.00 the piece
to be advertised with a flourish as a "great special value" hy an
other store at $2.19. And as it happened identically the same
make and grade of garment. Evidently "we bought "with a shrewder
knowledge or else are more conservative in stating values. This
trio mentioned below are "special values":

THREE MORE DAYS OP THE GREAT
Reorganization Sale Good Shoes
K First FloorWest Annex.
llind" you,- we say "Good'
Shoes," for it's the. leather
in the Shoe that counts,
and we -never sold anything,
but good shoes here never
did and never will, no mat
ter what the price asked.
The average active busi
ness man takes from 4000
to 6000 steps a day, which
means that his shoes hit
the ground an average of
5000 times, with a force of
perhaps 150 pounds behind
them.
xne woman wno goes
shopping strikes the ground "with less force, but probably twice
as often.
It takes sound leather and sound workmanship to stand the
strain and the combination costs money.
As good a shoe as a man can 'reasonably wish -prill be found
in our regular stock at $3.50. It's a shoe of same quality that
sells elsewhere in the country for $5, and it's well worth it.
