Society of Japanese Ait Admirers Lovers of Japanese Art, Curios, Wares and Manufactures have a rare opportunity to secure valuable articles from Fair Japan at small cost. Worth of, the finest goods known in Japan were sent to the Lewis and Clark Cen termial Exposition for exhibition purposes.. This magnificent collection is the best products of. over 200 manufacturers, artists and curio collectors, and is now displayed in the Oriental Building at the Fair. Not more than one half" of this superb exhibit has been disposed of and rather than ' reship these beautiful wares and manufactures to Japan many pf the exhibitors are' willing to : . . - - Sacrifice Their Exhibits Some are willing to accept the cost price in Japan. This would be a mere pittance as compared to the selling price in the art emporiums and dry goods stores and ba zaars of America. It means a rare . bargain at about 25 per cent of the old selling price. The exhibitors believe that the distribution of these beautiful goods and art works on the Pacific Coast will prove a valuable advertisement for the home market. In order that this beneficent result may be secured for local connoisseurs and all others interested, a number of PROMINENT AND INFLUENTIAL CITIZENS of Oregon and Washington have taken advantage of the situation and organised a TSociety Art Admirers Patrons of this Great Sale are guaranteed more values than can be obtained in American marts.
