The White Fair.
All Seattle has waited for the news we
INT today-the announcement that the
White Fair will be open tomorrow at o'clock
The most difficult task is to tell it without
rNlaudation. We might write Of the decora-
tons--how the store is poem in white; how
I'VE used more than thousand incandescent
,mps. and thousands of yards of white mus
In On all the booths and the archways; how
bt there ALI these things are for the sight
sers, and everybody is very welcome.
The Great White Fairl
aWhat does it mean 2" asked woman yes
hrday. It means simply this-that in order to
bridge over dull time we hold every January
preat White Fair. During the Fair we will
ell everything white at saving of third to
ahaH
The sale will last month, and the selling
viii include:
Baby Wear. Bedding.
Cottons Linens.
Mems Shirts Embrosderies
Laces. Under Muslins
The backbone and handspring Of the whole
Fur is Muslin Underwear. Roughly counting
Aerock sheets we find we have
fifteen thousand Pieces Ready
with this announcement.
Cheaper because it was bought before the
recent advance, and cheaper still because it was
made last August, when factories are usually

The idea of selling white things in January
has been largely copied, more so this year than
ever before, it would seem. But, of course
there are curiosity shops where antiques OF any
degree Of antiquity are made to order inside of
an hour, and then anybody knows that there
would be no counterfeit dollars if there were no
good ones
Maybe you'll find it difficult to read, mark,
LEARN AND INWARDLY DIGEST the.
statements found in this page. You'll read that
some things are worth double, some worth
third more, and so on, and likely enough some
cautious soul will say,
"t's Another Advertising Lie!"
But it is easily proved. For example:

And even the 7-cent Corset Covers are as
Wa,ssclentiously made as the So ones, and fit as
well
The idea of limiting the quantity sold to
any one person is to make them go round as
IA IA as possible. Nobody will be disappointed
q we can help it. Last year the Fair reminded
OF the Scotch boys shortcake.
