ton of coal is required to mine, man
ufacture and burn a thousand brick,
the effect of this upon the cost of
production is very serious. Manu
facturers have, however, been very
reluctant to pass the added cost to
the consumer, evidenced by the fact
that the composite price for this
month $14.06 exceeds last month's
composite price by only 62 cents.
"Some districts show a less in
crease than others and this is
where oil is used for fuel. On the
whole, the brick Industry has en
deavored, with success, to keep
prices at a reasonable level.
"It is to be noted, however, that
we art going into the winter
months with no reserve stock. On
the contrary, the 92 firms reporting
still have to make 48,000,000 brick
to catch up with the orders now on
their books, and 2,000,000 more brick
were moved from the yards than
were produced last month. The
probabilities are that a record i
amount of construction will be car
ried on this winter, with a strong
demand for brick."

Association Reports on Condition
of Industry Throughout,
United, States.
The coal strike had little effect
on brick prices throughout the
country in spite of the fact that the
brick industry felt the curtailment
of fuel severely, according to the
montmy disest or conditions in the
common brijk industry issued Octo
ber 1 by the Common Brick Manu
facturers' Association of America.
Brick prices in the northwest
were not affected at all, according
to the report, and throughout the
cquntry the composite price advance
was only 62 cents.
The report follows:
i'he coal strike may be over for
the miners, but the brick industry Is
stiil feeling its. effect severely. Coal
is used to. produce power for brick
plants as well as fuel for burning
brick over most of the country. The
brick industry is one of the largest
users of coal. Coal is generally
bought on contract from the coal
operators. The general experience
for the brick manufacturers has
been that for some time it has been
impossible to obtain deliveries of
contract coal. To keep running and
to. fill the orders from an active
market, the manufacturer has had
to go Into the open market and bid
for coal, paying double and trebfe
the contract price. Inasmuch as one

NAPOLEON once remarked that "the next best
thing- to a great victory was a successful retreat."
This, then, marks Peterson's Retreat from Business.
The Store has failed to make a profit.
The Stockholders are tired of losing money.
And the purpose of the sale is to sell off the fixtures,
the lease, the Suits and the Dresses and wind up the
business as quickly as possible.
"VJT7ITH0UT brag or boast it may safelye claimed
that no such sale has ever been known in this
city for many years.
Everything- new with but a few exceptions.
. Everything- beautilul ana prac
tical. And everything reduced.
. Some things not very much.
Some thing's, well one woman de
scribed it in a word, "Heartbreaking-."
F'R instance magnificent Coats
with fur collars and cuffs that
were bought to sell for $150 to $200
apiece are selling; at Seventy-eight
Eighty-five and Ninety-eight Eighty
five. Here are more than two hundred
Dresses that possess all the wanted
style characteristics long sweeping
skirts side panels and the rest. In
stead of Twenty-five and Thirty-five
Dollars, they are selling for Four
teen Eighty-five.
A second group includes Dresses of
Poiret Twill Silk, Crepe, Meteor,
Satin. Sersre Dresses beaded and
'broidered in lovely fashion, marked
Nineteen Eighty-five.
Lace Dresses can be had for as
little as Fourteen Eighty-five and
Twenty-four Eighty-five and lace
dresses are hard to get at any price,
and many of the finest Dresses
Peterson's have had in the store this
season are to be sold for Twenty
eight Eighty-five. Most of them
were boug-ht to sell at Fifty Dollars
and over.
MORE than a hundred and fifty
Tailored Suits will be sold at
Twenty-eight Eighty-five and Thirty-
eig-ht Eighty-five, Some of these are
gorgeously trimmed with rare and
costly furs and few in the collection
but would be good money's worth at
Seventy-five to a Hundred Dollars.

they are marked Twenty-eight and Thirty-eight

THERE are still a few Suits left from last season
they are $6.85 apiece. Women who paid Twen

A few Capes of Crepe and Cloth may be had at $8.85,
and a few Party Dresses are the same price some of
them were four times as much.

every woman can buy two or three
at least they will want to. All the hats
are arranged in groups at $2.85 at
$3.85 at $4.85 and so on up to $12.85
for the very finest and most exclusive
models in the store. Silk fiber scarfs
and all-wool scarfs are offered at
about half the former prices. Silk
Bloomers are priced in like manner.
"EVERYTHING is plainly marked
so that you can wait on your
self. 'Indeed, the chances are you'll
have to. For it has been impossible
to get a sufficient number of expe

came last week.

things to be sold besides Coats and

Of course so great a success as this
has naturally aroused a little compe
tition. One of our good neighbors is
getting a little extra business by
copying , the signs and advertise
ments. "The Better Business Bureau
ought to stop '.em," exclaimed an in
dignant visitor. "Why don't you
notify the Bureau?"
"Never mind never mind," said the Chief. "Let
them alone and don't worry! Business gotten by
tricks or by deceit never did anybody any good what
soever. Just tell the people on Sunday that the Peter
son Store is on the Second Floor of the Pittock Block
and that will be quite all right."
And that's all there is to that!
I Thank You.
