At present they are almost isolated and

his mind. He says that contractors

they will have a building- - completed.
and that they now figure a great deal
higher when taking contracts than they
did the fore part of the year. The reas
on for this Is that they cannot tall what

WhyTilers Piano House Does the
" Biggest Business of Not Only
Any Piano House In the Pacific
'l Northwest,! Bui of. Any House
in the Entire United States.
In purchasing a piano there are three
things to consider: The reliability ol
the house from which you- purchase, the
value of the instrument itself, and th
price. '-. v. . r ( , , f ...
Bom peopl are disposed to regard
PRICK as of first Importance. It is a
mistake. Tou want to bsure of the relia
bility of the. firm. You must re!y largely
upon it statements as to the value of
th instrument If you have no value
in your piano you might as well throw
It away. Value is Important It IS the
plana ,,."."-..-.
, We recognised this long ago.
And we secured aa our leaders the best
piano manufactured in the world thi
celebrated Chlckering of Boston, the
beautiful Weber of New Tork. and tha
now famous Kimball of Chicago. That
these are the best pianos in the world Is
I a fact that can be demonstrated. . The
Uai been one long series To? triumphs. 86
with the Weber. Bo with tha now fa.
mou Kimball, on which more money is
expended, in which more thought anrt
genlua are concentrated than upon any
other piano in the world.
we Know toes tnings ar true.
Toll could shut your eves and select
either one of these superb Instruments
and you could make no mistake. , .
xney are tn best the world afford.
So much for value; v ; I , . , , -..
NOW AS TO PRICE
WE have been dolna the bleeest busi
ness of any' piano house In the United
States, as much on aocount of price as on
account, of value.
When' we say we sell fine pianos for
less money than is asked elsewhere for
inferior instruments; we do ao with abso
lute knowledge that we do da what wa
say we do. --
or instance, a piano that will cost you
not lea than S500 elsewhere we sell for aa
low a" 141s. Tou pay us $246 for a piano
that will cost you an even $300 anywhere
else. And so on.
We sell more pianos than any other re
tall house In the United States.
This ought to bo a significant tact for
you. It ought to be conclusive' proof,
not only of price and value, but of re
liability.
It shows where people believe In deal
ing, and it is the only infallible guide in
purchasing.
The best pianos In the world, - the low
est prices and the most liberal terms.
These are what Ellers Piano House offer
?ou, and you can't afford to disregard
hem' If you ar thinking of buying a
piano. - ,

COMPELLED TO
SACRIFICE ENTIRE STOCK
asarata-sstaasM
Henry J. White, .Igent' furnisher, 1
Third street say a:
"We have simply been forced Into sac
rificing' summer goods by the existing
trade condition. It has been our cus
tom for some time past to make large
price reductions at this time of year in
order to clean up stock so not to carry
over goods into another season. As a
general thing,' the stock' la so low that
we do not feel the sacrifice, but this year
tha buying of spring and summer goods
has been so light, for various reason,
that wa are.. aft In mid-summer with an
Immense stock of . goods that should have
been solu under ordinary condition,
weeks ago. Realising -th impossibility
of being- able to move these goods soon
enough at. what Is usually considered big
price reductions, we are compelled to,
simply aU'u&hter prices without regard to
profit, and in some Instances, cost Think
of selling a 11.00 silk golf shirt, that is
regarded aa a -big snap at 76 cents, for
4 cents,? SocH that , are advertised as
big bargains at IS cants, for 7 cents. It la
a fact that we have never In our business
history sold men's furnishing at such
profit-killing prices as we are now forced
to. Tha goods ar a4I nw this soaon.
and were selected by me with great car
and were ordered with a view to meeting
heavy demand; s w Indicated by
conditions earlier in the season. Bust,
ness has fallen 8at, however, and w art
left with the big stock on hand that wa
must get rid of, even at a loss."
