PORTLAND. APRIL 25. 1889.
e x IE would be
v " sorry to think
that premature
advertising of Summer
Underclothing might be
the indirect cause of even
a single case of pneumonia
or that advice of ours as
to the buying of unseason-
able goods might result in
i'll to anybody.
Still it is the duty of our
advertising department to
acquaint you with what's
going on here and keep
you informed in dry goods
news,-so that when we
say our whole line of I'm
ported and Domestic I'm
derwear for Men, Women,
and children is on the
counter, on the shelves
and ready to be seen,-to
be sold if you're ready for
it-we're only following
out our usual method of
announcing new arrivals.
A year or two has seen
a radical change in the
character of the Summer
Underwear made for La
dies, and the change is for
the better of course. Fine
ribbed weaving and soft
clinging textures predom-
mate and the sleeveless
low neck vests are the kind
best liked.
We're showing one now
at 25c that looks quite as
well and is really better
than the old time dollar
sort. Pink, blue, flesh,
cream, white and ecru is
the line of delicate shades
that this and all our other
lines come in. The prices
go from 25c up to half as
many dollars with every
price between. The fab
RIGS are cotton, Isle thread,
silk and fine saxony wool,
separate and in combina-
ton.
Our assortment of Swiss
ribbed underwear is un-
questionably the largest in
town and it includes about
everything that's new and
desirable. The fact that
we import all the foreign
goods we sell, and buy
straight from the mills all
the domestic kinds, places
us on a rather more advan-
tageous footing as regards
prices, than any Of our
competitors.
This is worth remember
ing when you're ready to
buy underwear.
