WAS THERE EVER SUCH A SALE OFFERED?
There is but one answer, and that answer is backed up by proof. Here is some of the proof: Did the ladies of
Portland ever before have an opportunity to buy the finest of all silk, elegantly trimmed Waists, worth $10.00,
$15.00 and even $20.00 for $2.98? When did any other Portland store offer the very finest of $25.00 and $35.00.
