PORTLAND. MAY o, 1889.
W. Use s tSs sos sdyi n
the first center
counter very much. One
reason is because they are
sold very low as leaders
and sell well enough with
out advertising, and
another reason is that no
one article is usually of
Importance enough to
make a special advertise
ment and occupy our regu-
lar half column.
VIII make an exception
this time, however, and
mention several articles in
Guiding the Sachet Powder
put up in nice little
bottles, convenient to use
what is wanted and have
the rest for future use.
1t is much better this
way and don't cost any
more. You get ten cents
worth of the best Sachet
just the same quality and
quantity as if put up in
paper. We do this as an
advertisement with the OBJ
ject of pleasing our Gus
toners.
Soaps in all the leading
brands we retail at less
price than any wholesale
dealer here or elsewhere
would charge you by the
dozen. Try it and see if
we are not right. The
"Kaiser Wilhelm" leather
dressing for ladies and
children's shoes is a COM
paratively new article
which sells at 13c. 1t is not
as well known as some
other brands but many who
have tried it recommend
it highly. We think the
KAISER" is a good article
or else would not sell it
and the price is a little less
than any other kind.
The White Tar and
Camphor Tablet, which
attracts notice by its odor,
as people enter the door,
is the incest article made
for packing away fine fan
nels and furs. 1t is in
clean thin sheets and will
not soil the most delicate
fabric, Twelve sheets for
25c is the price.
This counter is covered
with desirable Toilet Arti-
cles, nothing of inferior
quality, and all sold at
prices which show a good
margin in our favor if our
prices are compared with
other dealers.
