The general Idea prevails that Tam

Here is one of the most remarkable
temperance sermons ever preached,
and It comes from a leading light In
Tammany.
Senator George V. Plunkltt. the

Truly
Wonderful
Has been the trade at our little store. People realize that the
size of the store, the number of clerks employed or the size of the
stock carried has nothing to do with the money saving values
given. Its the quality of the goods and the low prices placed on
each article that counts.
The compulsory sale means a great deal to the buyers of
clothing. It means the best suits at lower prices than ever quot
ed Id Pendleton.
This shipment of clothing Bent us through an error on the
part of the factory before we are ready for it makes it impera
tive that we get rid of it at once. In order to dispose of a large
shipment like this it is necessary to give great inducements and
make the prices so low and the values so big that people will
be compelled to buy because the bargains are irresistible.
OUR OFFERS ARE
IRRESISTIBLE

and most convincing money-saving prices ever offered In Eastern
Oregon. We propose to close out every article by the end of this
