The Olds, Wortman & King Store News The Grandest Aggregation of August Bargains in Town Monday's Most Magnetic Merchandise Attractions Exhibit at This Store "15: w : V imm'- it (From the New York "Dry Goods Economist," August Number.) Circusing "Wonderful bargains! Unheard of reductions ! Tremendous sacri fices! What a lot of circus-poster business is done in simple black and white thro' the columns of the daily and Sunday newspapers dur ing the Summer stock-reducing, closing-out period. And the mer chant who knows that half of it is imagination and half exaggeration in many cases, and has no use for it, feels like seeking the cyclone cellar until the whirlwind has spent itself. Don't think of hiding places. Don't run while the bat tle rages.- There never was a bet ' ter time to stand and declare your self, to exploit YOUR methods, and to win by them, if they are the right methods, and you have faith in them. Does your competitor ad vertise strongly of what he really cannot dof Then can't you write even more convincingly of what YOU CAN AND WILL DOT The real trouble is not that his fiction is written as tho' it were truth. That will declare itself. But is not your TRUTH written halting ly, half-heartedly, stammeringly, as tho' it -were fiction?" The above bristles with good points, well taken, that fringe the bullseye. Tomorrow comes the cir cus, and with it thousands of out-of-town folk who will combine bus iness with their pleasure and pea nuts, and do much shopping while in the metropolis. The city stores will fairly yell their spiels of bar gains and trumpet the virtue of their wares from the store-tops, and thro' the newspapers.' Should we sit quietly by and let such val ues as we've prepared for Monday and Tuesday visitors go unherald ed ? Nay no more than the circus management would come to town under cover of darkness and leave, folding their tents like the gypsies, and hieing hence without inform ing the public of their "unprece dented attractions." And the buy ing public will come here first and stay here longest, just as the great est crowds will take in the great show in the "big tent" tomorrow as the princi pal feature, leaving the "concert" and the side shows as aftermath.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11, '06. Dear Editor -" Store News," Olds, . Wortman & King, Portland, Or. : Agreeable to request, and pursuant to promise made you before leaving dear old Portland for the East, I write you these few lines touching on hints for correct feminine dress the approaching Autumn. It may inter est you to know of the extreme heat here, which well nigh induces pros tration, and would knock life and ambition out of most mortals who haven't the Oregon physique to sus tain 'em. The enthusiasm instilled by the beauty and bewitching smart ness of the new garments acts as a tonic with me. The chic freshness and newness, of the Fall dresses is as refreshing as a breeze off Mount Hood. Wait till you see 'em you'll go in raptures ! The pretty new things furnish a sort of excitement all the time it keeps one wondering what new beauty is about to be unveiled 83 we go tripping each day through the leading style houses of this great American f ashio- center. This is go ing to be the jatest season we have ever known. The stj'les are s differ ent from seasons past, and materials are radically new, as used in the latest suits. But, goodness 1 . Mercy knows that Dame Fashion gives her subjects vast Vlee-way" in choosing. Smart dressers may exercise their own good judgment and give whim free rein this season. One may select their favorite model from a range starting at the trig Eton jacket and running the full gamut of modes up to the long-coated 50-inch suits. Mixtures will be popular again, the predomi nating coloring being peculiarly ap propriate to the Autumn season, the new shades of brown. Silk and lace waists will be worn extensively by swell dressers, and shirtwaist suits in silks and smart woolens will vje for " favor with the new tailored creations. These latter are marvels of masterly workmanship. Velvet collars will be much worn on the tailored suits. Col ored broadcloths, velvets, embroider ies, handsome braids, pretty buttons and touches of lace will be used in the trimming schemes. Some of our exclusive models will be blouse and , Eton models built from bias plaids and exquisitely trimmed. You will be pleased to know that we have se cured ibsolute control of the famous Schroeder creations for Portland. They will positively be shown by no other house there in the 1906-1907 models. I shall be glad indeed to turn my face homeward again, and am counting the hours somewhat impa tiently now to the finish of myMabors for this trip. All for this time. With greetings to all, .
