RUGS ! In This Great Sale
You know, of course, that we carry the largest and finest stocks of
floor coverings on the Pacific Coast. Long ago we foresaw the almost
universal shortage in good floor coverings that was bound to come as
a result of world conditions and we purchased so heavily then as to
seem guilty of extravagance in the eyes of others less informed. But
time has more than proved the wisdom of this free-handed course
and today we hold a position second to no other Western store in the
matter of well chosen extensive stocks of floor coverings. We cite a
few instances of our ability to serve you and save you money.

TJi is Nationally A dvertised Range at
Meier & Frank's Only in Portland
The Simplex UNIVERSAL COMBINATION
RANGE has so many excellent qualities that to enu
merate them all even in the smallest type this space would not suf
fice. Enough to state here that it has all the desirable features of
the best modern ranges and many wonderful qualities not found in
any other range. This
Universal Combination Range
burns wood, coal, gas or gas in combination with either wood or coal. It give3 you the con
venience of a gas range and a wood and coal range combined, whilst requiring only the
space of one range. And it 'is so simple and so safe that a child can operate it!
NO PARTS TO CHANGE when you change from wood (or coal) to gas, or vice versa.
Fuel changes are made instantaneously and automatically by a simple "twist of the wrist."
For these chilly" Spring mornings there is nothing quite so comfortable and cheerful as
a good range fire. You can have this with the Universal Combination, and if you wish to
use gas all you do is just turn the key.
The Universal Combination means a cool, pleasant kitchen in Summer; a warm, cozy,
comfortable kitchen in Winter. Really gives you two stoves at the price of one. Saves
kitchen space, worry, work, time, fuel and inconvenience. This three-fuel combination
range has, besides, all the fine cooking and baking qualities that have made Universal
ranges famous.
