Grocer Who Has Built Up Superb
Facilities, With New Buyer
Store Continues in Charge With New
and Plenty of New Capital
DRESSER'S STORE IS SAVED! Capital, the lack of which,
threatened to wreck his splendid establishment, has been supplied
in abundance. Portland's great food .department store will con
tinue to- grow.
CASH real money and plenty of it that's what enables a
grocer or anyone to buy to advantage READY CASH! Dresser
has always bought in immense quantities.. With new capital be
hind them, Dresser's buyers, always on the alert, can make the
best buys, and his customers will get the benefit.
Prices at Dresser's will be lower for the same quality than
are possible at any other store in Portland. No matter how little
or how much a family spends for foodstuffs, they can save money
by buying at Dresser's.
Seaside and Gearhart Stores Are Retained
Nothing desirable has been sacrificed in order to secure this
increase in capital. Both of Dresser's Seaside stores will be open
for the season.
Mr. Dresser's Enthusiasm
Relieved of financial worry no longer confronted by danger
Mr. Dresser now has time, energy and enthusiasm for upbuild
ing. He will devote himself with renewed vim and vigilance to im
proving service and deliveries. What he has accomplished here
tofore in spite of towering and crushing obstacles is an earnest of
what he can do now with these obstacles removed.
To the hundreds of old-time customers by whose loyal patron
age and supnort Dresser's store has been made a possibility and
a reality, Mr. Dresser extends heartfelt thanks. He asks all of
his friends and customers to call and see him. By this reorganiza
tion, he is free to make his store and its service highly worthy of
Portland's loyalty:

THAT the apartment-house lias net

living methods is the concensus 'if opinion
of the leading architects and builders. In
the largt-r and old.r lOastern cities. th:s
method of housekeeping has, of course,
reached far greater proportions than in
the West, yet it is claimed that in the
iive leading Pacific Coast cities alone
there, is now over $50,000,000 Invested In
apartment-houses.
Portland has a number of these "com
bination residences" and during the
recent weeks a number of permits have
been issued for new buildings. Now
conies the Unit Sharing Associates, a
corporation recently organized in this
state for the purpose and which pro
poses to erect a village of apartment
buildings at Waverleigh Heights on the
East Sicie.
While it has been known for some time
that such a project was under way, yet
those having the matter In charge hava
heretofore been unwilling to discuss it.
preferring to wait tin the details of the
proposition had been worked out and its
success assured, before making any pub
lic statements.
The site chosen embraces both sides of
the ravine bordering on Powell Valley
boulevard about two blocks east of the
Clinton-Kelley public schools.
It consists of nine acres, two of which
will be occupied by the buildings, and
seven of which will be landscaped and
used as park and playgrounds.
The apartment buildings, will be built
around the uplands of this tract as will
also the "arcade' store. This store will
have departments for groceries, meats,
fruits and vegetables. reading and
dining-room and billiard-rooms, drugstore
and news-stand and central telephone ex
change for the entire "village." These
will be located mostly on the ground
floor. On the upper floor will be a ladies'
clubroom and large hall with stage for
entertainments, lectures, etc. From a cen
tral plant, all buildings will be furnished
with hot water and steam heat. This
central plant will also furnish electricity.
for all the buildings. There will be a
great playhouse, playgrounds, kindergar
ten and nursery for the children. Another
building will contain a gymnasium and
swimming baths, for use of both old
and young.
In the center of the ravine, which when
graded and parked, will have become a
great ampitheater surrounded by the
buildings, will be located the bandstand,
from which once or twice a week eve
nings, it is proposed to furnish the entire
grounds with music. Croquet and tennis
courts and other grounds for entertaining,
outdoor sports will also be provided.
The style of architecture will be that of
the early California Missions. This in
order to make it distinctive. It has there
fore been named the "Mission Villa."
This name is also an appropriate one for,
like the early California Mission fathers,
who lead the way to a higher civilization
on the Pacific Coast, so the "Mission
Villa" as their motto reads, is "A better
way of living." The project is being
launched only after months of careful
study. It Is being backed by some of
gas, laundry and compressed alp cleaning I our brainiest and most public-spirited
citizens and announcement of its com
mencement has been purposely withheld
until its success was assured. Work will
commence during the current month.

Juster perhaps than If one bill had
been approved and the other, defeated.
Either both should have been defeated
or both should have been passed, as
they were. It is recognized that a
final solution has not yet been-reached
and a compromise measure in the next
Legislature is predicted. The laws of
Washington and Oregon should be the
same. ' It Is unreasonable that there
should be permitted on one side of the

is 'forbidden on the other, or vice versa.

"A Terrible Fall," were the words used
by a Washington piano dealer as ' he
looked at the price card on one of the
yhiiios yesterday, and before he left the
store our wholesale manager took his
ordi-r for two cnrloads of assorted
'nakr-s and styles at the marked prices
as thov stand, on the floor.
When dealers buy in car-load lots at
sueh prices and jump at the chance, it
it not surprising that individual pur
chasers are rushing to our store, gruh

fast as we i?et them unpacked.

Track! lwlny: nnrpt away The rail
road washouts in Montana have delayed
several car-loads ot pianos en route for
nur new Portland store. This will prob
ably necessitate more time than the
ten days in which to close this bid
deal, of selling one hundred pianos to
one hundred individual buyers, as
stated in our opening announcement of
last Sunday's issue. Although word
has been received from head officials of
the railroad company that the damage
is bcinsr repaired rapidly, and that
trains bearing our goods will oou
move forward. .We are also advised
by the steamship company that a boat
load of pianos for us is due to arrive
at Portland, next week.
This will relieve the situation great

ous purchasers who have made their
selections from catalogues, that we
hope to be able to make deliveries not
later than Thursday, the ISth.
Snfesrunrd Plano-Iluylns: When you
have purchased your piano from us,

probably never will be such an exeep-.
