PORTliAND, Or Aug. t, 1104.
Gentlemen: X have your note Informing your oatrons that, during the month of Aua-ust. your store will close
every Saturday at 1 o'dlook. thus affording your employes an opportunity for a half-holiday during the vacation
. period. I believe you are on the right oourse. It might cost you some money to do this (I hone It won't), but
' X -desire to express my sentiment In regard to the matter and to Inform you that during August no trading will

AN EDITOR'S OPINION
' (Tm "eaide sad leva Toeles" XdltorUl, Aarost. Xstse.)
' -.The following la rained because it Is a stralght-from-the-shoulder Mow, in the Interest of right, from bright
Intellect and manly soul. These words are from the pen of a man whom neither eoax, cash no cudgel would n
fluenoe, whose opinion and that outspoken- hag no pries . an. A. X. aAXAAJU)!
It Is a pleasure to speak frankly and in strong terms of ppreolatloh when we see some deed of exoepttonat
merit. The simplest terras are usually the strongest ones. In as simple and unequivocal , language as possible
we want to say that the Saturday noon closing rule of Olds, Wortman A King's Portland department store is the
best, wisest and moat meritorious deed that has yet been accomplished among this city's business firms. ..The.,
humanttarianlam indicated cements the affection of the employes and Insures even a more loyal servioe In the
future. The courage displayed la all of a piece with the qualities of leadership that , are becoming household
words for this establishment " . .
In this age of rush the clerk's hours must be long and strenuous. When hot day come the house that says,
"On Saturday go at noon and recreate yourself for Monday morning," Is a food, a trustworthy, a wise house,
one not only to be respected by the community, but to be upheld and applauded by- every, legitimate -method of
patronage and appreciation.- we do not think It amis in a newspaper of our class that talks out Its opinions
utterly regardless of fear or favor to speak openly In this way of the good acts' of Olds. Wortman A King. We
mean last what we say. We speak of it. for we desire general publicity for the fact. Kindness snd decency are
not dead yet among the higher class of merchant. And the day is drawing nearer and nearer when this very kind
ness and decency -will be recognised as the soundest business policy for such great establishments as depart
ment stores. Only the very highest of their class are now In the lead, making precedents, as usual, for others to
follow later on. ..... - ; . - ' ' ..

A GRAND HALF-HOLIDAY SALE TOMORROW!
THE 1 3A HOURS OF BUSINESS OF THE "OLD FOGY". STORES I
CROWDED INTO FIVE AT THIS MODERN ESTABLISHMENT !
.S announced some time since, this store starts tomorrow upon a step that mea'ns a gigantic stride toward betterment
in store service, by taking the lead, not only among Portland stores, but among all the stores of the northwest in
adopting the Saturday half holiday custom in voarue among all of the large eastern houses of any orominence or
standing In the commercial world. Our position on the early closing movement question is too well known to need further
mention. In another column we append a few opinions of others, opinions that have vast weight in the community. We are.
0 glad of such encouragement, we have hundreds of letters of a similar nature as the one we publish. Thanks, friends, thank you
-alL- The early closing movtment adopted by ua, in the face of what seemed almost ingurmountable obstacles,' five years a gor
has borne generous fruit. We are so well satisfied with the commendation received as to go a step farther now, and start.'
tomorrow on the SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY during the hot summer months. We trust the move may meet with universal
public approval, we sincerely hope we discommode none In trading at their favorite store. As will be seen by a faithful perusal
of the items below, we have gathered an aggregation of genuine bargain attractions, such as to leave no doubt in our mind -but
that WE SHALL DO MORE BUSINESS FROM 8 A. M. UNTIL 1 P. M. TOMORROW THAN ANY
OTHER PORTLAND STORE WILL DO IN THE EIGHT AND ONE-HALF HOURS MORE THEY COMPEL
THEIR TIRED HELPRS TO LABOR, THRO THE HEAT OF DAY, AND DARKNESS, OF NIGHT. If you
-. would find the greatest values in Portland; if you would shop in her greatest, busiest store; if you would really enjoy every
mdment of your shopping; if you would profit handsomely at the same time; if you have a fellow feeling for . the thousands
of patient store helpers. who serve you faithfully and well all thro' the week and year your brother and sister ' workers,
come to OLDS, WORTMAN & KING'S and Jio your Saturday buying tomorrow before .1 p . m.--when .the store, closes.
