PAGE FOLK GRESHAM SUCH OUTLOOK. CROWDS BUYING ENTHUSIASM Never Before Witnessed in Gresham We told you we were going to give you the greatest sale ever advertised in GBESHAM. Now you know we made good. When we opened this mighty closing out sale Saturday every minute of the day and late into the night our store was packed and jammed with eager buy ers, everywhere expressing their appreciation of the wonderful bargains offered. H undreds of customers were turned away opening day as it was not humanely possible for our large force of salespeople to wait on everyone. Many of our bargain lots were sold out completely and we are certainly ph ased and gratified to know that our efforts were so well appreciat ed. If you are one who could not get waited upon we urge you, by all means to visit this store this week or next, as we will have many more surprises for you each and every day of this sale and want you to know' it is a real genuine sale and that the good things were not for one day only We want you to come to this store and sale expecting to buy the newest anil best lines of Dry Goods, Furnishing Goods, Shoes, etc., th at money can buy at ¡»rices less than they can be duplicated for in any market of the East or West. It is impossible to list prices but ¡»lease bear in mind that absolutely every ¡»rice is cut and every article in this store is on public sale to close out. PATIENT PEOPLE REWARDED On Saturday it was utterly impossible for our many sales,»eoplc on the floor to serve all those who wanted Dry Goods, Blankets, Shoes, Furnishing Goods, etc. The crowd was good natured indeed, under the circum stances; but patience had its reward for those who could wait. A dollar to three and even ten dollars saving is some rew ard in these days of sky- high price*. Goods must go-Cash must come-We quit for good ALL FALL AND WINTER MERCHANDISE SACRIFICED!

The Strength of a Bank The strength of a bank depends prim arily upon the ease and speed with which it can make its assets available in cash when needed. Because of our membership in the Federal Reserve System, we can at any time instantly obtain cash by rediscounting with th “ Federal Reserve Bank the com mercial paper which constitutes a large part of our assets. This in effect increases our available reserve and insures our being able to meet demands for eash at any time. FIRST STATE BANK GRESHAM, OREGON
