WE ARE NOW entering upon the greatest clothing and shoe sale campaign ever inaugurated by ourselves or any clothing
and shoe institution on the Pacific coast. As stated yesterday,' the Sterling Clothing Company of Des Moines, Iowa,
t had been in business or exactly one year. At the beginning its management bought for Des Moines ae it had bought for
die Boston market, its former place of business. BUT DES MOINES WAS NOT BOSTON. In comparison, it was as a minnow
and a whale, with Boston as the latter fish. "Last spring found- the house tremendously overstocked, but notwithstanding, it
bought for fall delivery on the same extravagant scale which characterised the beginning of its business. Delivery of its latter or
ders began a few weeks ago, and hs management found itself unable to meet its obligations. . The manufacturer, not at all so af
fable and "tender" as his traveling representative, threatened attachments. The mercantile agencies, thoss almost unerring ba
rometers which record the financial standlngot the business world, whispered It in Chicago that "STERLING BROS. OF DES
MOINES stand on vie verge of trouble The firm is overstocked and cannot meet fcs obligations." Our Chicago representative
was thus given the "tip" that has served him with such effectiveness in times that have pssse into history. He hastened to Des
-.Moines, and to make a long story short, s- -;, ; J - -. - - v ; '
Bought the $ 1 35,000 Stock 6( abthingFumshing
r
. And these Des Moines domes and these Des koines shoes are in Portland now. THEY ARE HERE AND AT THE HUB, -TO
BE SOLD AT ONE-HALF THEIR ACTUAL WORTH, and you, Mr. Reader men, youth or boy, may make selections of
apparel, UP-TO-THE-MINUTE ' in STYLE AND FINISH, of the very BEST domestic and imported woolens, at 50 -cents on
the $1.00 of what you vill pay for similar goods at other ploces that is, stores where they sell this high Quality of clothing at
alL , And thereA are but one or two concerns in the city where such splendid garments may be had at any price at alL Our store
was closed one whole day for the purpose of marking down prices on these garments and shoes, $55,000 worth of which have ar
rived, consisting of the CREAM OF THE MOST STYLISH GARMENTS THAT WILL BE, SEEN IN THIS MARKET
THIS YEAR, Every piece was, made to the order of the Sterling Clothing Company, from the most expensive cloths, and are
warranted the- equal of anything to be had in Portland at double the price we nave put upon them. In proof of this, we ask the
careful attention of our friends to- these quotations; :.vV.-.v.-" f.; 'Xi ..-V 't

And so It feoes all through the store.
The , prices have never before 1 been
touched in Portland. They never will
be reached again. - They are in accords
ance with The Hub's well known policy
of always selling goods at half what its
competitors sre obliged to charge, and
.this for the reason that our alert east
ern representative never misses a bar
gain of this kind, no matter where it
.turns up, in any part of the United
States. As a hawk constantly seeks its
prey, so do we seek these opportuni
ties of buying stocks of goods from per
sons who are compelled to sell. W
shall continue this policy so long a we
continue in business; and that will be
until our hair has been frosted by time
and our decrepit form has been laid to
. rest We never grow weary and we
rarely sleep.
Satisfaction or money hack, always.
Express orders carefully filled.
