Smartness and Style Combine With Comfort In the Store's A UTUMN FOOTWEAR Shoes Rubbers The gently-falling rains remind us ' that Ore gon's health-bringing wet season has arrived. Perhaps thin soles that bottoih your shoes have nudged your mind that feet need better protec tion nowf One might say the easiest way to walk these days is to ride, but as walking is well known to be the healthiest exercise, the question of "the easiest way to walk" becomes interest ing in helping you to walk easy, in shoes that make the feet "hold their head up" proud of themselves. Modern shoemakers have accom plished much for the walking public. Shoes are constructed more carefully. Leathers that are soft, plump and handsome are used. Styles are adopted that are full of smartness, yet shapes conform to the feet. Our shoes are 'specially built, of leathers which approach nearest the ab solute waterproof standard of any known pro cess. And they're built to display to advantage the graceful lines of the foot, and give that neat, trim appearance demanded by stylish folk. No other shoes so completely combine style, com fort and service. We mention a few leaders, among others: Women's Gloria Shoes Made of gunmetal calf; seven buttons, heavy soles, custom finished. They're beauties. Price, the pair, $3.50. Women's Heavyweight Winter Shoes Made with a new patented sole that's very flexible and will wear twice as long as those of regular tannage. Price, the pair, $4.00. Women's Kid Shoes Made on the foot-form last, wide, broad toe, good heavy soles, and kid uppers. These shoes eombine extreme comfort and individuality of style. Price, the pair, $4.00. We show this same make of shoe in patent kid. Price, the pair, $4.50. . A Marvel in Rubbers : Ever see a rubber that wouldn't tear down at the heel? Ever wear a rubber that wouldn't tear anywhere? We've got 'em do you wonder we term 'em "marvels"? They are marvels, in deed, these untearable rubber shoe protectors. Not heavy, clumsy affairs, either, but smart, light and dressy and they won't tear. -No, you can't buy 'em at any other Portland store, for they don't sell 'em'; we control their sale for the city. No they cost no more than the ordinary kind. Interested? Try a pair. - Profitable Paragraphs for Men: Quality and style is what you men should stand for not statements, or price alone. Stores get enthusiastic about their goods which is natural but the careful store makes comparison by what others get for same or similar goods. We've compared values on a quartet of lines in the Haberdasherie this week and are going to ask you to do the same. We'll be satisfied with re sults. Man's Shop in the Annex Sixth-St. 1st Floor.

At this time, as usual, Olds, Wortman & King will show, the authoritative modes for Autumn and all of the changes in dress and styles that are correctly new for the Fall and Winter of 1906-7. Apparel found at Olds, Wortman & King's is neither the unsanctioned extreme in newness which soon passes out, nor the commonplace but always the MODE. In the charmingly and tastefully arranged salons on the second floor we shall show, amid most beautiful and impressive settings, what will prove to be the most comprehensive gathering of fashionable apparel for women of critical taste in dress ever shown in Port land, or the Northwest, unquestionably demonstrating again the indisputable leadership of this great Style House as arbiter of fashions and DICTATOR OF MODES AMONG WESTERN STORES. In the Annex--Second Floor--The Millinery Opening will add brilliancy to the event. We offer no apologies for omitting the formal openings this Fall. The rea sons are obvious and logical. An army does not stou in the midst of battle for a dress parade, neither can this store pause in the midst of unprecedented September business to give way to mere "show days." If you were promised a view of a great and powerful engine, wouldn't you prefer to see the gleaming, glisten ing giant in motion? Of course you would. Just so you'll enjoy the Fall's informal openings all the better because you'll find us all "on the move" full of life and business. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AT OLDS, WORTMAN & KING'S WILL BE DAYS FOR SEEING FOR SHOPPING AND FOR .ECONO MIES WORTH WHILE. Plan to come both days. No music, but pretty decorative effects will be used as set tings for Fashion's gems in the surpassing style exhibit. T x ; I r . Take Elevators to i-UtC UUflUl15 U.IIU. JXUgS . the Fourth Floor Curtains and Rugs have always been treat ed as sort of first cousins at this store they're so nearly related among the family of home-fitting needs. When we arrange a special sale of one we make strenuous effort to reinforce it with the other, tho 'tis' not always an easy thing to do. You see, lace makers over in Europe are ' busy as bees, weaving pretty things for personal wear of our. American women ; things on which they are able to earn two or three times as much each day as on articles like lace curtains. It has thus been increasingly difficult to -get lace curtains, except at stiff prices. But we looked well ahead, ordered very early, and succeeded in getting the work at usual cost and even less. To make room for a lot of new arrivals we start a special sale of lace curtains tomorrow and reinforce its impor tance by adding Rugs. Read the detail.
