Mr. Callan, -who. did not' want to

that I would not play such fool poll

will'' be probably seven men on the
senate list and 1 or IS on the house

Portland, Oregon, May 4, 19167
To My Friends and Patrons:
I wish to announce that when I closed' my business last September in
the old location it was not because I was doing a poor business, for I
was doing a good merchant-tailoring business, as I always"have enjoyed
in Portland.
The reason I discontinued business temporarily was that my stock of
woolens and linings, etc., was so-low that I hardly had enough to con
tinue, and the goods that were offered to me were not even worth
looking at, as most of the woolen goods offered by the jobbers since the
advent of the European war are nothing but cheap, mercerized materials,
made of cheap and inferior American dyes.
Rather than purchase this ordinary material and in turn peddle it
to my customers, I decided to close my business and go East, personally,
to see what could be secured in the way of the former high-grade goods.
By spending a number of months in such cities as New York, Bos
ton and Philadelphia, ahd other large cities, and by diligent and per
sistent work I was able to pick up, by paying a premium, a big stock of
Ijigh-grade Woolens with the good, old guaranteed dyes.
Although I had to pay a high premium on these goods, I will not dare
or even attempt to raise the price to my customers, for I will be per
fectly satisfied, and will be well repaid, by having the patronage of my
old, as well as new' trade.
Remember, I am now in my new location, 289 Washington street,
Perkins Hotel Blook, and you will be agreeably surprised to see one of
the largest stocks of Woolens and Lining3 that was ever carried by any
merchant tailor in Portland, and that my new store is the most elegant'
and best equipped in Portland. .

Army Man Discusses
Preparedness Issues
Captain R. S. Knox of the Twenty
first U. S. infantry, lectured last night
at the Central library on military de
fense and preparedness. He pointed
out that in case of war the putting
of untrained or partly trained volun
teers in the fields leads to useless
slaughter and disaster. He said that
th i00'. troops in the vicinity of Port
land are insufficient to defend it from
attack of an efficient invading army.
He said the defending army should
number ?0,000.
