Remarkable Sale Art Treasures From Every Civilized Nation
Involving a $165,000 Stock, Averaging One -Fifth to HALF Regular Prices
Upon Request All Purchases in This Sale Will Be Charged on January 1st Bill
-This sale is an innovation in holiday sealing. Its very being was created of necessity. For months shipments from every foreign country have been
arriving through the Portland Custom-House, whose records show that of the importation of foreign merchandise used by department stores, this store
imports more than all other stores COMBINED in the State of Oregon. Foreign complications, the inability to replenish certain lines, the entire cessa
tion of many factories, have made it imperative for us to dispose of as much of our holiday gift stock as possible.
Tomorrow, we offer without- exception, without reservatioh, every article on our great Sixth Floor Art Gift Room.
You are invited to make selections now. Articles will be reserved and' packed ready. for future shipment, and purchases, UPON REQUEST, will
be charged on your January 1st bill.
Come to this sale with every confidence. It carries with it economies that are substantial and satisfying.
The same spirit of dependability that characterizes all sales in this store will be revealed to a marked degree
in this remarkable offering of Art Treasures. ' "
