V iflarid On All Shot, to Pieces! ' ; ": f '. ', : , We Are Fighting the People's ! Battle, and the People Are : : Standing By Us Nobly Early-in the year, when we opened fire on "skyscraper prices," we little dreamed that we would win such a com plete victory. WE KNEW FURNITURE HAD NEVER BEEN SOLD IN, PORTLAND AT SUCH A LOW FIG URE, but we knew that the people must be convinced of this fact, and the fondest hopes we then entertained are far behind our present " actual realization.;-The business . we have done exceeds our fondest expectations- by-thousands and ,. tens of thousands of dollars. butGcod-Ori'Buyers! We Have Revolutionized Fur . niture Prices in Portland, and the Public Has Shown Its Appreciation Our business has been the ONE BIG SUCCESS OF THE YEAR.'' . Our trade has come from all parts of the -city. WEST SIDE CUSTOMERS SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AT OUR STORE EACH MONTH. We have actually : saved our -customers at least $25,000 this year, which, means that hundreds of homes have been fitted up much more elaborately than they, would have been had we not been in business. - ' The Latest Type, of Modern Artillery ;V?-Kir'J.ir?'- : '--.3 . .. : ' w Hi9-b Priced1 Eortificatiows For years PEOPLE REBELLED AGAINST FURNITURE PRICES IN PORTLAND, but felt entirely helpless. It was our good fortune to solve the problem of GIVING THEM RELIEF in a-mutiially profitable manner. To pay big rents arid undersell others; was impossible; to own our store would partially solve the problenCbut not entirely, as interest and 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 half of thi building; the income from thjdther half covers interest, taxes, etc. It puts us IN A CLASS ENTIRELY BY OURSELVES. We can make legitimate profits at prices that would put others put of business : because Others Pay Itentle fCdkt Rent When the above . picture was printed, early in the year the Big. Price Boys were just waking up to the fact that we were an important factor in the furniture, market, and, every effort has been ; made to discredit us, but the people were too "knowing" to be fooled. The Big Price Boys naturally try to jrove that their prices are low; but the public knows they must pay big rents, which the customer must assume. The Big Price Boys also constantly convict themselves of selling at double the cost of furnitures by advertising "specials" at half price. Now, WE NEVER MARK 1 GOODS HIGH ENOUGH TO PERMIT MORE THAN A TWENT Y:FI VE PER CENT "SPECIAL" REDUCTION hence people have, learned that this is the place for all regular trade for( all complete outfits and wetluyelplyj been swamped; with .business.. . , , Big Snaps in Library Tables ' a iM These cuts illustrate three patterns of Library Tables that we have placed on special sale at 98.00 each there areTothers. When you see them you can hardly believe your eyes. If you know ANYTHING AT : ALL about values even a "LITTLE, WEE, ' TII Y BIT" you will want to pinch yourself to see if you are dreaming. Theyare well finished, and tops1 are 26x42 inches and 28x46 inches. How It All Comes About Through a misunderstanding an eastern factory shipped us different tables from those ordered, and in the adjustment we were given a large special discount. So, in putting them on special sale without profit, we are actually selling Library Tables at less than the regular factory price.
