The tidal wavcof prosperity which was. iweeping the
land when'our business was planned caused us to indulge
In some very rosy dreams pf future .business. Then we "
opened our NEW FURNITURE STORE in the midst
pf the panic, and pijr', friends extended their sympathy.
What
Reallv
Happened
Our No-Rent prices opened a' new era in the furniture
market and customers flocked to. us from' the beginning,
and our monthly sales have exceeded pur fondest hopes
by thousands of dollars. ' 'K , 1 '

For two years PEOPLE HAVE REBELLED AGAINST FURNITURE PRICES IN PORTLAND, but have felt entirely helpless. It was our good fortune to solve me pcm oi ui viwu,
THEM RELIEF in a mutually profitable manner. To pay big rents and undersell others was impossible; to own our store would partially solve the problem, but not entirely, as merest ana taxes
must be reckoned with. We purchased one-fourth of a city block on the.East Side, where business property is cheaper, and erected a large four-story building. We occupy one halt ot tms DuUd- .
ing; the income from the other half covers the interest, taxes, etc.'. It puts us IN A CLASS ENTIRELY BY OURSELVES. We can maw egmmaiC pruuu.

Charges Not True
Ofttimes Virhen a customer learns how very low our FURNITURE prices are he is incensed
against WEST SIDE DEALERS, and says: "I HAVE SIMPLY BEEN ROBBED; THAT'S
ALL." One customer even declared she believed she could have "THEM" arrested, etc.; but
We Always Defend Our Competitors
We seek to convince such customer s that the Furniture men possess as lofty ideals as any other
class of business men, and that WEST SIDE DEALERS are merely victimsf conditions which
necessitate charging high prices, and.IF WE WERE . IN THEIR POSITION WE COULD
SELL NO CHEAPER "THAN THEY DO. For others to attempt to sell Furniture at our prices
would be the height of follyTHEY WOULD SURELY GO BROKE and that is why it is
Continually asserted by competitors that we will go broke in 30 days; that
We AreQiving Away Furniture Over Here

point. But we are making as much money at our prices as others are at theirs because
