Easter Sale of Dinnerware
in Open Stock Patterns
Dinner-set prices are still going up at the
potteries but they come down here with a
jolt just in time for Easter.
American, English and French dinner
sets, all offered at less, even though they
are in patterns that we have the year
round. An English maker says one Eng
lish customer demanded and received a
piece of open-stock china after the factory
had discontinued making the pattern for
40 years. We don't promise that these
sets can be renewed in 40 years, but they
can be duplicated within a reasonable
length of time. So if Mary breaks a cup or
Tom nicks a plate, the damage is not nearly
so bad as though the sets were unmatch-able.

100 pieces, special $39.47

Great Sale of Dining Room Tables
at Savings of $8.76 to $33.00
Merchandising in a great store like Meier & Frank's is
about as interesting as anything we know of. It has many,
many phases. One unvarying rule of the store is that
there always must be large stocks for our customers to
see wide variety to please every taste and prices as
low as or lower than any in the northwest.- The reduc
tions on these tables are the sequel to a determined effort
on our part to procure enough dining tables to meet our
customers' needs during the last year.
Our customary table orders were given last April. Be
cause of lumber shortage and lack of skilled labor months
passed without this factory being able to deliver a single
table. The order was duplicated and given to a second
maker with the same result of no deliveries. Finally we
again repeated the order, giving it this time to a third
manufacturer. Then we got deliveries from all three
orders !

of Tliese Savings on Standard Merchandise
