A QUESTION ANSWERED BY THE KNIT UNDER
i;;'; ' ; 7EAR AND .. HOSIERY BUYER
During the past two .weeks this section of the store has been V veritable beehive of industry, a condition most
unusual for the 'month of August. The unusual activity was accomplished through the medium of a series of live
and well-laid plans, executed many months ago, the culmination of which developed intense interest among the
retail buyers of Portland. Many questions as to the whys and wherefores of these series of sales have been asked, "
and why we were offering good reliable merchandise at such unheard of prices. In general, we can only state that
our unequaled facilities lot the purchase and disposal of immense quantities procure for us the ' opportunity of
collecting-and choosing merchandise with absolutely : no regard to quantity, providing the price is right. : The
sales of the past two weeks have been so eminently satisfactory that for the NEXT THREE DAYS the heads
. .of the different departments have been instructed to use whatever legitimate methods they choose to swing the '
volume of business in their direction. With this end in view, and knowing the futility of pursuing any other method,
we attract your attention and retain your patronage by quoting "LOW. PRICES." - The phrase "low priced" has
evil associations it marches so frequently with that abhorrent thing, tra9h. So in considering the . figures below,
please regard them as coupled with merchandise of Only the highest standard. ' .4 . : f ; . ,
