Thrift Campaign,! It Is Pointed
Out, Will Be of Particular
and Lasting Value to Nation.
Bankers In' the state of Oregon, out

fully awakened to a ! realization of the
vita! Importance to ihe nation at thla

the Kovernmenfa Thrift and War Sav
ings Stamps campaign. Portland banks
are all selling stations and have organ
ized 100 per cent war savings societies.
Though bankers have been Importuned
by the government to lend their ; every
aid to the W. S. S. work, and the
sales of war stamps. jonly 162 of the 268
banks In Oregon have been listed aa
War Havings Stamps selling stations,
In the number of banks actively in the
W. S. S. game Oregon stands twenty
fourth In the list. Her sister Btate of
WaHhlngton, with 300 banks of a total
of 380 Muted as selllifig stations. Is third
In the same list. Minnesota Is first and

L. Sommer & (Vs. Fourth Streetv Store Sells Out to
We Bought the Stock at Our Own Price
The most Startling
Levitt':
Here Is Why The Sacrifice Is So Great
We. bought the stock purely and simply be- ,
cause we . bought it 'cheap. Our store is ;
crowded full of merchandise from floor to
celling and every floor is the same. W
bought this stock because we couldn't pass
up such a wonderful opportunity. Merchants
all over the country are making wild scram
bles for merchandise, and while we did not
need the goods, we figured that if we could
buy It cheap enough to make a quick sacrifice
of it. that we would buy it. The deal was
made at our own price. And how could we
turn down such a wonderful stock with such
powerful, standard brands of merchandise?
You will find hundreds and hundreds of
Munsing Union Suits for women and chll-.
dren ; Iron-clad Hosiery In hundreds of boxes
full, and such fine Hales and fine knit you
can't buy them at all today. Dozens and
dozens of Royal Worcester Corsets, Fleisch
er's Yarns, Clark's Silk Oloves. high-grade,
standard brands of Men's and Boys' Clothing,
Sell" Royal Blue, Florshelm, Tilts and Lion
brand Shoes, Conqueror Hats for men, guar
anteed old dye Woolen Serges and old dye,
fast-colored Wash Goods; Cooper and M ed
it cot t Underwear for men and so on all down
the line in fine brands of merchandise. We
felt that here was'a real opportunity to bring
thousands of people to our new store and
show them the greatest bargain erent any
where today. In order that thla stock will
not Interfere with our regular season's busi
ness, we must close the L. Sommer & Co.'s
stock out in 10 days, and we are going to do
it. To make this great sacrifice doubly inter
esting we are adding thousands of dollars'
worth of merchandise from our own fine stock
to this great eent In order that everyone
can participate and buy their requirements
at prices absolutely unparalleled anywhere
today.
Sacrifice of a stock
of Merchandise in all.
of Portland's History
It is marvelous that we are in
position to announce such sacri
fice prices as these.
