Hundreds l of men this week have found it so, much to j their profit, and consequent pleasure. " i , I ; ; I first advertised this sale in last Sunday's papers, May 16, but it was my pleasure to make it date from May 1. I don't like half months or halfway measures! So, if you bought a suit for cash at my store on any day between May 1 andMay 15, bring me the sales slip and I will pay you the difference in cash. If your account was charged with a suit between May 1 and May 15, the difference will be credited to you. ; This sale is all-inclusive; it involves every man's, young man's and boy's suit in my store,- without any reservation whatever. It embraces many of the finest makes of clothing hi. America, such as these: "Hickey-Freemen clothes for men; L System clothes for young men; Skolhy clothes for young men and boys; Wearpledge Insured clothes for boys. i You know the worth of these clothes; you know, too, that they are sold through out the entire United States, and that they have an established price which .differs bu,t little, whether sold oft the Pacific coast, the Atlantic coast, in the north, or the south. Now, I am selling these clothes at an actual, visible reduction of twenty per cent (and more -in many cases) from their reg ular established prices. Surely,; this is prof it-taking time for the men of Portland! I would have you remember this, too: I have not been unmindful of the constantly rising costs . of good clothing and! I have purposely priced v all my clothing this season at a smaller margin! of profit fhan js customary and usual every where. I .have felt that the retail merchant,! who stands next in line to the consumer, should make every possible concession. So, then, the savings in this sale loom all the greater by reason of the reductions having been made from close-margin prices. I urge my friends to buy. clothes ; now sure ly not through any wish for pecuniary profit to myself, but, rather, since I have made the op portunity, I earnestly seek the satisfaction that shall be mine when I know that this sale has been a real beenfit -an accomplishment which I can look " back upon with" pleasure and sat isfaction. . I hope to greet many here tomorrow and I know that I shall.
