Special sll day today, only, at 91.80 Silks and Silk Houses A LITTLE TALK BT tUR SILK MAN. -The Silk Store South Annex First Floor.' , Following our usual custom, .we Inaugurate today 1 ; the Monday preceding March 1 V ' A Monster Semi-Annual Sale of f Dependable Black Taffeta , t;v-. Right here we want to 4m press upon the gray-matter atoragecelIs of Portland's silk-buyers the fact that THIS . HOUSE buys only from the silk mills direct. One does not take a chance HERB of buying- silks that have been stored sway for months or years on a Jobber s shelves,, rotting in the dyes or mildewing from damp. The silks HERE are bright, crisp and new. full of "swish" and life, so desirable In silks. Another feature well to bear In mind is the fact that, buyfng aa we do direct from the manufacturers, we save the 25 to S6 per cent of profit exacted from other Portland houses by the "middlemen" they buy from. No "jobbers' " silks here. However, like the Immortal Washington of cherry (or apple) tree fame, we cannot tell a He and say that "we have yet to have one complaint about the silks we sell." We read a. statement of that sort the othef day emanating from the fiery pencil of another store's "ad-man." But, like other things from the same source, such state ments must be taken. with a large box of salt. That "ad-man" haa probably about aa much knowledge In a practical way of silks as wa would have of .putting steel shoes on Croesus.. He was ustng "advertising 'license" instead of silk truth. There Is not a repu table silk house In the world but has SOME trouble with their silks. For verification, we refer to such world-famous silk houses as Altman, McCreery, B. Stein, Arnold, Constable Co. of New York, Marshall Field of Chicago, and others of equal note. What we have done la REDUCED SILK TROUBLE8 - TO THEIR MINIMUM. What we do la lust what those other REPUTABLB houses Just mentioned do and that ta AkiyATS MAKE EVERY BILK-BIT YER SAT ISFIED AND HAPPY WITH HER PURCHASE, and the same applies to Dress Goods. - .
