PORTLAND, FEB. %, 1889.
N the basement is a
i long counter entirely
covered with Feather
Dusters,-all lengths, all
sizes and all qualities. We
are going to sell them to-
day at prices that will
make you think the Dus-
ters can't be good,-they
are all right though, we
guarantee 'em.
It's because we bought
them cheap,-under the
market,-that we're able
to offer them for less than
they've ever been sold for
here before; and we look
for a complete wipe-out of
the whole lot before night.
Several cases of new
decorating Fans were OPP
ened in this basement de-
partment a few days ago;
the shapes are all different
from those we've had be-
fore, the decoration is of a
higher character, and for
brilliancy of coloring-they
could give the common
kind cards and spades and
then beat them for bright
ness.
Everybody buys these
Fans now; there isn't a
house that hasn't some
niche or corner, or out-of-
the-way place that would
not be improved by a few
of them, and no summer
house is furnished without
quantities everywhere. Our
stock is probably larger
and better now than it will
be again this year, which
is a good reason for you to
come at once to see it.
Hundreds Of the Scrap
baskets have been sold
since we mentioned them a
few days ago. The supply
is not exhausted, however,
and we shall continue to
sell them at 25c as long as
they last.
