February first this new 20th Century warehouse will Be ready for business. It is located on
the block bounded by East Third and East Second, and Pine and Ash Streets, Portland, Ore.
The main floor covers 20,000 square feet, is 130 ft. by 150 ft. with annex 30 by 50 ft. It
has railroad trackage both on Second and Third Streets. Doors are large enough to admit
two of the largest trucks to drive in at the same time side by side. In fact, every possible
economy has been or will be installed to handle food stuffs. The building is of solid con
crete, well lighted so that in the matter of sanitation it is the latest, best thought.
Our large stock of merchandise, around $100,000, on the West side must be moved, and
it is our thought that at this time, rather than move this from one warehouse to the other, we
will hold in all 20TH CENTURY STORES a
Warehouse Removal Sale
We will attempt to quote but a few prices here, as this stock consists of hundreds of
items. We firmly believe that it will be to the greatest advantage of every food buyer in
the neighborhoods of one of these stores to make very libral purchases at this time.
