TJIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 16, 1907. 13 BDQ STOC K REDUCTION Monday, we will launch into the second week of the great stock-reducing sales. The extraordinary success of last week's stock-reducing sales has spurred us to still greater efforts, and crowds will continue to come, and share the values, as hundreds of others have shared. Values as great, and in many 'instances greater than last week's. Reinforcements have come from the work-room and reserve stocks have been drawn upon. Monday we will again be in readiness to show you -the greatest and best merchandise, values ever offered inPortland. Not a lot of odds and ends, but fresh, : new stock, not even ever snown peiore. J. M. A. Gives a little Reliable Information "Say. do you know that the J. M. Acheson Co. in putting up a new five-story bull din on Fifth atret, right adjoining my store, on the couth Well, we are; yes air, this com pany Is building that building, or rather pay ing for having it built or again trying to pay for it wo have got along pretty well but it era to take a barrel of money to build it and our barrel is moro' like a keg. So we gt blue about it Jots pi times and we have been lots of times araid we rannot complete it. Lots of people are afraid we won't be able to complete It. "Bless them," such people are doing all they can for us and lots of people don't care whether wo complete It or not. Such people are not doing much to hlp us, but we have no complaint to make of them. They may chanxe their minds and help us. Then, there are a lot of people who are so afraid we will be ablo to complete it, we actually know a bunch of this latter class. Sorry to know such are in Portland. Maybe you know aome of this last set; If you do, don't apeak of them, the least said the bet ter. Th?y have our genuine sympathy for bav i n g bee n born with such d I stoned natures. Pay. but ain't there lots of distorted and selflsh-natured people in the world? But yet, there are so many more kind and sympa thetic natures in tho world that the plainly visible contrast makes the world all the more to be appreciated. So we are wiggling along with the building. We did not have to build such a good build ing fit's on leased ground, you know) but ne were aahained (if nothing more) to stick up a two-story brick building in thia fine part of the city. So we told them (the con tractor) to run it up five stories. And by the way, these contractors and fellows who have been working on this building have been pretty good to ua. If we say we are broke, or say we are short, they aay. "Don't worry, wo can wait a little." Then that makes us feel good and bad. Good that they don't crowd us and bad that we cannot apot down. You know part of this big five-story building in to be used by our "Sight of Portland Store." You eee, we want a fine b(g, airy, light floor for our factory people, fitters, etc., to work In. So will un the entire fifth floor for this and the Men's Tailoring Business. It will be the finest work-room in the Uni ted StHts. there are none better. Then in part of the second floor we have Bmployes Wardrobe, lunch, fixtures and reserve stock rooms. The balance of the building we rent out. And bv the way, Just happen around and ae at a glance that there is nothing in Portland like It, and the second floor front is by far the most desirable second floor front in Port land, and there are fine people in It, those tal Estate Folks. Some day, if the knock ers don't down us, we hope to use the greater portion of this building of ours in connection with our "Sight of Portland Store." but there are lots of headacbee to ba endured between now and then. Of course you know that this is an in corporated company and the stock is being sold. I don't own this big concern, of course I have some considerable interest but the people the people of ordinary mean, are the co-opcratora who have made thla store what it is. No subscription to the capital stock from $1 up Id refused. Stock is guaranteed to pay 10 per cent dividend, besides carries with It a atockolder's trade discount -right, hii-h will save one hundreds- of dollars. A 10 investment in thin company will save five times that amount in a year, and per haps more besides the 10 per cent dividend. Remember, I am making this statement over my signature and I am able to verify it by the statements of dozens of stockholders who have been with me during the past years and en abled me to bring forth this immense popu lar concern. I will add right here that It is the Intention to add line after line of goods to this concern, to widen and enlarge the factory part, until MOST all citizen of Port land will be proud of it. It has been a great wonder to some people as to where I was getting the stuff to build the largest, finest and best store on the Coast. Thev were sure I didn't have It and they were right. Hut there re lota of people who have money who like the way I run a store for them. I just note these things here so you may. In a measure, understand the advantages and profit to be had by being an interested party tn this concern. Later on, as plans work out. T will more fully outline this concern's ob jects and work. Meantime any application to invest made in person or by mail will bs properly attended to. J. M. A.

You Haven't Got Money tnougn to Buck Us" That's what he said said it to roe. A very immodest thing to say at any time. But to tell me of the fact yes, -a fact. It didn't sound good it was unbecoming of the fellow. It don't sound good to be bragging of how much money you have and how little the other fellow has. I didn't ex pect it of this fellow; I was sure he had better judgment. But I was mis taken. The fellow claims to be one of the firm I guess he is that isj member of the largest concern in tha city. But you wouldn't recognize the fact from such talk as this ''You haven't got money enough to buck us." He needn't have said that. I knew he had money stacks of it or his folks or some one had the money, all right and he seemed to have an undisputed right to use it. I knew that. I have often been, and am now, proud of the fact that Portland lias such an immense department concern. J have often, when showing strangers around, "pointed with pride" to "our great establishment" yes, I have -may do so again. But because a fellow has carloads of money, he must not think others have no right io open "big stores." I was not thinking of bucking him I'm not so foolish or that foolish to be scar able talk sane, reasonable, modest; it'll sound better you will feel bet ter. Don't talk about "putting us out of business if it takes a million" I am not worth so high a price; my stockholders would 6ell for less. Follow my advice I'll give you the correct thing, or try to: Don't fool with a buzz-saw. Remember, a fel low always "puts himself out of bus iness" if he goes out. That is, the people will put him out. People don't like bulldozing methods your clerks won't like it, I don't like it, and I hope you have some regard for the people's, your clerks' feelings, if you haven't for mine. I want to see you succeed. I want to see you spread. I don 't begrudge you your barrel. There is enough to go around, and by square, honest, hard efforts my company is going to get its share. I could say more, on a little different lines, re garding some things that have hap pened. It would be only plain talk. I don't want to have to say it. I re gret the necessity of saying so much. ' J. M. A. Note Thesf notes were penned some two weeks ago, but I have been ill and I withheld them until now. Wholesale and Retail M. AC COMPANY Ffth &nd Alder Streets KILDAHL ANSWERS WIFE DKMKS 11I2H CHARGES OF . CKIKL. TREATMENT. Admits, However, That He Once Dis arranged Her Hat "When She Was All Pressed Vp."
