MORE OR "LESS, ACCORDING TO GOODS SOLD FOR ONE WEEK-
I never misrepresented or misstated facts or conditions
in my announcements and don't propose to begin now ."There
fore, I wish to say that during the past two trying and critical ,';
. months, you, the people of Oregon and Portland: have not
failed me. You seemed to quickly recognize this as being in ..
many respects the most magnificent store in the land. This
statement is borrowed from Eastern representative tore pecn-
. pie who have seen the best Eastern stores, and now that you
have made it a fact that this beautiful store shall stand 1 can .
assure you from my personal inspections of other stores that
in many respects this store has no equal, arid you. may well
count it as one of the sights of Portland. Those of you who
know me personally, know that the honor of being the founder ,
and supervisor of this establishment is more to me than dol
lars' and cents. . Therefore, it is not my money that has made
this store it is the people's and what there may be of this
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22,
And simultaneous and in conjunction' with the opening of the
grocery store, .' . ' f .. ;
OUR BIG STORE CLEARANCE
: SALE WILL RUN
The equal of which never has been in. this city nor in the
United States that I know of, as follows: ".
First About $30,000 of merchandise must be cleared
from our store' within the next few days.
Second -Every man and woman in Portland must and ,
' shall know of our grocery store at -once.
Third Every man and' woman in Portland must and
shall know .that' I have opened the men's tailoring, department; .
again and as of my old practice, nothing but absolutely all-
wool cloths will be sold. Everybody who knows me knows
that's a fact. ' . , . ' .
BECAUSE WITH EACH DOLLAR'S
worth of goods purchased in our big store or men's merchant
tailoring department . . . V.
ONE DOLLAR'S WORTH OF GRO
CERIES GOES FREE AS FOLLOWS:
I have never done or allowed any. trick or false advertis
ing to be done in this store. Therefore, when I say that yqii
get GROCERIES FREE equal to the amount of your pur
chases in our big store, I mean it and make it plain as follows:
One-fourth (Vi) of the groceries you hereafter buy of us
will be given you free until the amount of your purchases in
our big store is delivered to you free in" groceries except
sugar.
THIS MEANS THAT YOU BUY GROCERIES FOR
75 CENTS CASH ON THE DOLLAR. -
big plant' mostly belongs- to hundreds of different people
some well to do, but most of them of very moderate means ".
and many day workers"; and during the trying months when
the financial wind - storms were blowing hard arid many
thought the store craft could not' weather the gale, when
wreckers and agents of. wreckers were near at hand ready to
board as soon as she struck (for jt's a valuable ship on a val
uable corner), I want to say that all stockholders, big ahd
little were firm (except two or three). ' None rushed in nor
complained. This beautiful fact brought forth unknown la
tent energies that brought this fine store ship through and
the people of Portland will still have it for their convenience
and pride.', ,v ' ' - . ' ' .;.V' " ." . .
THE- STORE PLANS
Were. laid long ago. . They inchlded a number of other de
partments that owing to the coriditioh of the times have.of ne
cessity been delayed. ; Now it is the intention of this com
pany to carry out several of the original plans. I will here an
nounce that we have completed the fine five-story brick build
ing, known' as the Acheson building, on Fifth adjoining our
department store proper, and that we are operating the same,
a part of which we will use for but new grocery department,
and the fifth floor for our woolen and merchant tailoring busi
ness. ".. ' . :"-.'.-.:
. OPEN THE GROCERY STORE
. : .The first additional plan will be to open the grocery de-";
p'artment. Hundredsf people have been impatiently, waiting ,
for this, as our usual energy is expected to Be displayed in
this line as others. You will-not be disappointed.
1908, THE GROCERY OPENS TO SCOOP OUT GROCERIES

' YOU MUST KNOW OF THIS' GROCERY.
Orders-.taken and registered for men's suits made to or-:
der to be made and delivered any time before July 4, 1908,
and will apply on groceries.
HERE IS AN IDEA FOR MEN
-Think of it. You say: "I need a suit now, or I don't
need a suit until March or until Rose Carnival time in June.
Order it now and you pay say $iO on it. You can at once
start to buying groceries in our new grocery store, applying
the $10 on the groceries and as you have to eat and have "to
buy groceries, so when you eat up the $10 you have paid on
your suit you can give Acheson & Co. $5 or $10 more on your
suit order and go on that way, and when your suit is delivered
to you, you will have it free for you have had groceries for it.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW WE HAVE A GROCERY
DEPARTMENT, arid J. M. Acheson wants all his old cusr
tomers and thousands of new ones to know that his men's
merchant tailoring department is now in full swing and the
largest display of woolens on the Pacific Coast is to be seen
in this department. Hundreds and hundreds of different
styles of cloth. Five thousand square feet is given to this de
partment; A .sea of goods, indeed. If you don't want to or
can't buy, come and see the display anyway.
p. S. It is generally well known that I do exactly and all that I advertise; also that I don't do much that I don't advertise, and tnat I expect to follow these two rales as long as I do business.

The J. M. Acheson Co.:
HERE'S A SPECIAL YOU
DON'T SEE EVERY DAY
During This Sale During This Week Only, We Will
Make to Your Order Ladies' Blue and Brown .
Suits at From $25.00 to $50.00
and you get it all back in groceries Free Too
In explanation of this, will say no orders for black suits will be taken, from
the fact that we have hundreds of black suits ready to wear in stock and if yon
want a black suit, we have it for yon, at cost price, and yon set groceries free for
the whole amount at that for we want to advertise our grocery. . -
But' we have very few blue or -brown suits in stock, and they can't be had
quick in the East factories and every one else seemed to be scared stiff and
afraid to get out goods. Therefore our long experience in the manufacture of
ladies' garments, coupled with tha necessary equipment which we have, comes in
handy at this time to jump in and supply the deficiency that exists in
BLUE AND BROWN LADIES' SUITS
Now the hundreds of lady customers who have been in here the past few days
and shopping all over town, hunting for blue and brown suits, can call in here
this week and get a blue or brown suit made in the latest fashion and made in
the old reliable way that we in past years made hundreds of them which means
that they -are "made,"' not "happened together," and the cloth tailor-style
shrunk, which means that you can swim the Columbia Elver in one of the suits
it won't sink or spot. I have in the past, when making suits, made the above
statement many times, and no wearer of one of my suits has ever accused me
of misrepresentation. . "
. Out-of-town customers desiring to take advantage of any of these special offers
can do so by sending in their measurement size, together with payment of $10
as evidence of good faith, statins that they want a $25.00 or $30.00 or a $40.00
suit,- etc., and a suit will be made and sent to them. If they do not like it, they
can return, the suit and we will return the $10.00. AM if they keep the suit they
get the price of it free in groceries that's going some. ...
Any one can make their grocery bills for the next few months clothe them.
CLOTH USED IN THESE SUITS
Elegant .regular tailor blue serge, blue and brown broadcloth, etc., etc. We
assure you that tailor cloth will wear until you are a good deal bluer than it ever
was. We have the tailors, the cutters and expert fitters to turn out the garments,
and our old motto is as true as ever, and has improved with age, viz.: "Nothing
purchased of us shall cost you one cent if you are not satisfied. I sign this
personally. - J. M. ACHESON.
