Get a Focus on This Ad-Ful of Bargains: Vacationists and Stay-at-Homes Alike Interested Sth, 6th and Wash. Sts. Store Will Not Open on the "Fourth" A Stirring Disclosure Of the store's July plans. We start tomorrow upon the real Summer campaign, with a vigorous, breezy, snappy and aggressive series of spe cial sales all over the great store that will be sure to attract instan taneous attention and response from thousands of thrifty shoppers. This store knows no "dull seasons," admits of no Summer lethargy, but is all the time doing things and doing 'em differently, too. Tomorrow's remarkable values form a graphic bit of evidence of our determination to enthusiastically wage one of the most progressive merchandising actions in local storekeeping annals. The news on this page prompts a keen realization of the possibilities open to shoppers here tomorrow. And new features will be given publicity thro' the month. Interest will be intensified as the days come and go. There are so many special sales and special events of fascinating interest arranged for tomorrow that we can't begin to tell all in the newspapers. Many of the surprising specials are not advertised at all; therefore, if you stay away from the store you'll miss scores of opportunities to save in buying. Never mind what the weather may be. Remember that there would be neither fruit nor flowers if God answered all prayers concerning the weather accord ing to our folly in asking. A Drastic, Sweeping Reduction of the Women9 s Apparel Stocks! Choose Any Garment At 1-4 Under Price! The Cbiefess of the "Women's Suit and Wrap Stores starts East in a few days to pick and plan the garments for fastidious, Portland femininity's Autumn wear. Ere her departure, decks must be cleared, racks cleaned and counters "holystoned," so to speak. A temporary loss now means clean, fresh riew stocks in September. Without further explanation for our well-known policy of new stocks each season, and making every season bear its own responsibilities so far as loss or earnings are concerned makes it plainly intelligible to all WHY we've determined on this drastic reduction for a sweeping clean-up of Summer apparel stocks.
