THE SUNDAY OREGON! AN. PORTLAND, JANUARY 2. 1921
17
A Great Thing Has Been Done
at the Right Time
90
This Is the Great Thing
That Has Happened:
The Meier & Frank Store, determined to bring about a general low
ering of prices as the climax of its "Back to Normalcy," "Giving Port
land Lower Prices" and "Bringing Down the Cost of Living" cam
paigns, throws its entire stocks of the best merchandise obtainable on
the market at new lower prices in the January Clearance Sales of 1921.
To this end every article in the store has been
reduced from the price marked on the article on the
night of the last shopping day preceding this sale.
"Every article reduced" means that a new reduction
in price is made, even though the article already bore
a reduced price.
Meier & Frank "regular" prices are always the lowest possible for
merchandise of the quality and style and otherwise-desirable charac
ter that this store sells. January prices at this store take into account
all the most recent price-recessions in the market and in addition, for
this sale, are subjected to an extra discount.
It Were a Sale of Women's Fashions
'--If It Were a Sale of Furniture Alone
to mention but two of the 80-odd departments affected this would
still be one of the greatest sales imaginable, but it is more than a sale
of all the finest fashions in our stocks, it is more than a sale of all the
West's largest and best stocks of furniture, it is a sale of every article
in every department of the Meier & Frank store.
Everybody can save on their present and future needs by supplying
them at Meier & Frank's while the splendid reductions are in force.
Again This Week Our Windows
Are a Battery of Bargains
Our 32 show windows are chock-full of merchandise priced down to
the vanishing point merchandise which is not elsewhere advertised
and does not need to be, because the price will sell it as quickly as
seen. Our window displays of drastically underpriced merchandise are
one of the big features of this, big amazing sale. Everyone should
make it a point to go "window shopping" Sunday if they want to see
how low GOOD merchandise can be priced . . . and then come early
Monday to get their share of the bargain plums.
,
When it is considered that on every one of our 11
great retail floors there are many such DRAS
TICALLY UNDERPRICED lots in addition to the
worth-while reduction on EVERY article in every
department one can realize something of the tre
mendous value-giving at Meier & Frank's.
j
UST when we were all hoping for lower prices and wondering as to
when and how they could be most quickly brought about, when many
well-intentioned merchants were perplexed, uncertain and waiting for
someone to show them the way, and there being evident need for a swift
determined effort on the part of an institution strong enough and brave
enough to head a general movement to give the people the merchandise
they want at lower prices
The Meier & Frank Store
was ready and willing to lead the movement for Portland and the west
and so came forward.
Therefore
this great offer for a limited time as given to the world in last Sunday's newspapers
and now repeated with new force
Every Article Reduced
(CONTRACT LINES AND GROCERIES EXCEPTED)
TJVERY single article in the great Meier & Frank merchandise stocks from end to end and
- from top to bottom everything from the basement to the great turmture floors everything
in the 14-story building everything that we sell dry goods, wearing apparel, household needs,
the most staple goods, the newest goods, the finest goods EVERYTHING (contract lines and

day preceding this sale . . . so that this newest and greatest Meier & Frank original en
terprise shall be the finest and fullest expression of the

straightforward, all-inclusive statement
