There will not be a minute, ed with such VALUES AS YOU The GEVURTZ STORE is the oldest of its kind in Portland. We have been in business, in this same vicinity, for THIRTY TWO YEARS. We are now doing the largest furniture business in the Pacific Northwest and have been for some time. For many years, we have purchased in larger quantities than all other furniture stores in the city combined. Our orders are placed with manufacturers direct, in carload lots, thereby saving tremendously, both in freight and price. We. started in business in a small store at Front and Yamhill streets, later occupying the entire corner, and then enlarging to include the opposite corner. Then we moved to the southeast corner of First and Yamhill, also taking the corner of First and Yamhill, opposite. Our next enlargement was to include the entire block from First to Second street. Our present quarters include a frontage of 75 feet on First, the entire block from First to Second and 100 feet frontage on Second, making this store the largest, in square feet, in the City of Portland. We are now forced to leave our home, which we have occupied for so long, owing to lack of consideration on the part of a new tenant, who refuses, absolutely, to consider the tremendous responsibility, involved in our going out of business, after so long a period. We have concluded, therefore, to dispose of our entire stock, representing over $100,000 in first-class merchandise, to com plete a selling out proposition which eclipses, in value, any similar event ever inaugurated in the Pacific NortliAvest. Every article, of every kind and description, in our gigantic stock, goes without a question, in this great winding up of one of Portland's biggest merchandise houses. TTIE MORAL IS PLAIN BUY EARLY, WHILE THE CHOICE IS EXCELLENT WE ARE CERTAIN THAT THE MATTER OF PRICE WILL BE PERFECTLY SAT ISFACTORY TO YOU, n to the largest piece of furniture, everything will be sacrificed.

We are victims of the relentless, persistent, ever lasting progress of Portland. While an unscrupulous landlord is our first cause of selling, we recognize a bigger and better future before us. In this building, when completed, between Alder and Jlorri son streets, on Fifth, we expect to eonduet the largest general merchandise business on this Coast. Here will be. 12 SOLID. FLOORS OF FURNITURE AND OTHER GOODS. This will become a tremendous institution of selling and buying capacity, approached by none in Western America. For the time being, however, WE WILL BE COMPLETELY OUT OF BUSINESS.
