"Pellard" Tailored Suits for Women of Fashion
"PELLARD" Tailored Suits are the only Tailored Suits bearing the stamp of an exclusive and famous
maker that are sold in Portland. We make an extensive showing of these high-class
garments, each of which exampliftes some striking style feature. They embody the ad
vance Paris style features just as the Pellard Suits of last Fall were a forecast of the
present Spring styles. The charm of these suits lies in the exclusive tailoring. No or
dinary garments can imitate them. Pellard Suits are made in many, instances in exclu
sive shades of color, fabrics that cannot be bought in Portland stores. These first ar
rivals are moderately priced $40 to $100. Later we will have Pellard Suits up to $300
Probably it's difficult for the average customer to appreciate how unusually large an assortment of new ready
to wear garments we now have. The explana tion is quickly found. The styles are assured, the plain-tailored
effects having unquestioned preference with the well-dressed. But in the new shades and the new materials
there are notes of warning
The most-covete d materials of this season are largely imported; the shades are un-
the largest we have ever offered at this sea-
usual, and when the original purchases of mat erials are exhausted there is a possibility that more ordinary fabrics

SPECIAL OFFERING OF SEVERAL NEW MODELS IN TAILORED SUITS AT $35.00 EACH
The $35.00 values in tailored Suits that we have provided are indeed notable. Our buyer went to the highest-class suitmaker in New York,
bought various styles of his $.50.00 suits, and had exact duplicates of them made by another manufacturer, who purchased exactly the same
materials. By somewhat lessening1 our profits, we are able to give the best $35.00 value ever known. - Before purchasing a dJOC ff

Property-owners Who Ask Sheriff
for' Statements Save Themselves
Long 'Walts in Line and
Expedite Payment.
Although but 20 days have elapsed
since the collection of taxes for the
current year was taken up, the bal
ance sheet In the tax collecting depart
ment of the Sheriff's office showed that
$375,000 had been taken in up to 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. This is
nearly 1100,000 more than was paid in
by the taxpayers of Multnomah County
during, the corresponding period of
last year.
Only by the correspondence system
now conducted by Sheriff Stevens and
his chief deputy in the tax depart
ment. S. B. Martin, can a most incon
venient and perplexing congestion be
avoided. Ask for your statements by
mail, is the request made by Mr. Mar
tin. While hundreds of taxpayers are
now taking advantage of the mail sys
tem, yet there is an unusual number
following the old method of standing
in line by the hour awaiting tax pay
ments. "Taxpayers can save themselves a
world of inconvenience by mailing
their requests," said Mr. Martin in dis
cussing the tax rush. "AH that Is nec
essary is to jot down the number of
the lot and block and the name of the
addition where the property is located.
For that matter, it can be sent In on a
postcard. Two special forces of clerks
work all night responding to these
communications with Itemized state
ments of what is due.
"While there is a large force at work
all day, yet they cannot expect to pre
vent congestion if people call for their
statements. It takes considerable time
to prepare a statement in the first
place, and then there is often added
delay because of difficulty in locating
a given piece of property on the tax
roll. Those who wish may pay their
taxes by mail, merely forwarding the
amount due after receiving a formal
statement. It Isn't really necessary to
go to the' slightest Inconvenience in
disposing of what might be made a
troublesome task in paying taxes."
Of the amount received from the tax
payers to date Sheriff Stevens has
turned over about $180,000. On Tues
day an additional $125,000 will be
turned over to the Treasurer. The tax
collections are being turned over once
each week.
Prompt payment is another point
which taxpayers should not lose signt
of. While the taxes are the highest

"If the fine work continues coming
In large packages as it has for the past
week, we will prohably have an ad
ditional open-air gallery on the roof
for our exhibition early in March."
This is what Joseph Jacobberger,
president of the Portland Architectur
al Club, said at the Museum of Art,
yesterday.
Drawings, photographs, water colors
and sketches were stacked three or
four deep around the gallery where
they are placed after being unpacked,
Vvaitlng for, the exhibition committee.
consisting of Architects Lawrence,
Lazarus. Whitehou.se, Linde and Jacob
berger, to pass upon them and select
a representative lot for the purpose
of being reproduced in the year book
and catalogue. The committee had
three sessions at the galleries last week
for this purpose.
E. F. Lawrence, when asked why the
club went to so much trouble and ex
pense to bring In out-of-town work,
replied: "We know that everyone en
joys beautiful things. Some of the
work may not be beautiful, but we
think it is all Interesting. We are
trying to show the public what, some
of the leading architects In the. United
States are doinjr or have done. The
simplest way whs to ask the leading
designers of the country for collec
tions of their work.
"We have picked out some of the
men noted for thfMr country houses,
others for their church work, and some
who design skyscrapers, rathskoliars,
or clubhouses; also interior decorators,
stained glass, terra colt.'i, tiles, light
ing fixtures. manufactures and
sculptors asking for an exhibition of
their work.
"In this way we will show the work
of many men illustrating designs In
nil periods and styles from the pure
classic to modern art muveau. We
are not trying to educate the archi
tect by having the exhibition, hut we
are endeavoring to get the general
public to apruciate better things archi
tecturally." K. F. Lawrence, chairman of the ex
hibition committee, left yesterday for
San Francisco anil Los Angeles, where
he will interest the architects in the
convention to be held at the opening
of the exhibition, and endeavor to get
them to attend or to send samples of
their work.
