Quick Trips.

The ship George Stetson, Capt. Murphy,
arrived at San Francisco Tuesday from
Queenstown. having made the trip in the
remarkably quick time of ia days. The
ship VIM. F. Babcock, sister ship. with a
brother of Capt. Murphy of the Stetson in
command, arrived three days previous. They
vessels made remarkably quick trips, how
ever, as the average ship takes 175 days in
this voyage. Both captains are evidently
good sailors and command good ships.

IN If the occasion
required, of the
Ribbons we might say
much.
Few departments of the
store are so well able to 60
without help from adver-
tisements, and none SO sol
idly, firmly established as
the best of its kind in
Portland, as this Ribbon
department of ours.
We might go on to say
that It's four times as large
as any other in the city,
that it contains almost
everything a Ribbon-seek-
cream ask for, that it doesn't
contain a yard of any other
than the very best quality,
and that tie prizes are as
lo70, or a bit Loa0ey, than
those Of any stores, like ours
IN othe,, cities.
All this would be true,
but it wouldn't be news to
penple who ara anoue4e44rrvi
to coming here for Rib
bons, SO we'll take it for
granted that those are all
we'll understood facts, and
only add,-that thirty box
es of new goods arrived in
this department yesterday,
and are being opened this
morning.
One of the "plums of
this new arrival is line of
fifteen inch Sashes at SI.25
a yard. Think Of Sash
Ribbons IS inches aOide for
a dollar faOeptyJfve the yard,
Aeagy and pure alk-all
colors.
A feature of our Ribbon
selling is the discount for
whole pieces. If you buy
a whole uncut roll you get
it at the price to dealers.
Dressmakers, milliners,
and other large users of
Ribbons should send to us
for samples and price lists.
Ribbons, you know, can
be sent by mail, and a0e
prepay the postage.
