AND WILL SELL THEIR ENTIRE STOCK IN A
GRAND CLOSE-OUT
SALE
THAT WILL BEGIN ITS BIG VALUE GIVING
Saturday, Nov. 10th
I’m going to quit, I’m going to close out
this store in Tillamook for two very
good reasons. In the first place, it is too strenuous to try to run a store here
and at McMinnville, and second; my health does not permit me to reside where
the altitude is so low. Such circumstances are hard to get around and I’m go­
ing to follow the lines of least resistance and move, sell out as soon as I can
and give the people of Tillamook County the benefit of my decision.
It’s my farewell offering to you people and, while my store is small, in it
you will find everything you need in the home, and in this sale, everything is
drastically reduced for quick selling and I admonish you to come early and
get your share of the bargains.
MR. BLOOM SAYS:
Home makers don’t pass this opportunity
To those who dwell in the prideful spirit of home-ownership and building,
this sale means much. It provides the opportunity of securing some article
or articles you have been wanting for a long time and, gives them to you at a
fractional cost. Everything is here, any room in the house can be made to feel
the presence of comfort, beauty and convennecei and the cost will be small.
There will be hundreds of bargains, some costing only a few cents and those
who visit this great sale are going to be rewarded by extraordinary savings
that will be appreciated. In fact, where quality is considered, you have nev­
er in a life time been offered such genuine bargains. It’s your opportunity,
one you must not miss.
EVERY ARTICLE DRASTICALLY REDUCED. PRICES MADE TO
MAKE BIG BARGAINS FOR YOU. EVERYTHING FOR HOME FUR
NISHING HERE. SEE OUR BIG CIRCULARS. READ.
Store will be open every evening
