Editor of Times-Dear Sir:

Editor of Times-Dear Sir: l
wish to tell you of some things l
have noticed here of late in the
different stores. First, how the
women at the postal card counter
pick out all they want and then
walk away without paying for
them. Next, how handy the long
capes come in to carry home
things that you do not want
wrapped. For instance: I told
lady this afternoon there was
something hanging under her
cape. 1t was trailing on the
floor. SO she looked; but it was
only one of lot of gents neckties
she had hanging on her arm.
She said she did not have time to
have them worry her about wrap
ping. Would l please tell her
where the rest rooms were in that
store? Now notice she did not
have time to have all those neck
ties wrapped, but she had time to
go to the rest room. / only wish
she could see these few lines.
Now. word from you may save
many from wrong, for i call the
above stealing.

Selling Out Three Big
Piano Stores In
Washington
Tacoma, Seattle and
Spokane

All three stores of the Worlds
Largest Exclusive Piano Dealers
in the State of Washington, will
be discontinued before January
first. They are anxious to dis
pose of their entire stock this
week as they need few days to
pack up the remaining odds and
eds which are left at the end of
the sale, as every Piano not sold
within a few days of December
31st will be shipped to Los An
geles. Boxing and shipping is ex-
pensive, so they have decided to
cut every Piano to the lowest pos
sible notch. Terms can be arrang-
ed OF two to three years on al
most any piano in their great
stock. A complete stock of over
1900 Pianos in the three stores
were put on sale few days ago.
This number has been reduced to
almost one-half and the remaining
part OF the week they expect to
close out the other half at the
rate they are being sold, for prices
were never equalled and terms
never before heard of. New $3.50
pianos now marked at $3.50; S425
pianos, $500; all others equally
low. Player Pianos are now being
sold for less than the same In.

Last Call
Before
Christmas

While you're looking around
trying to solve the gift ques-
ton for the men-folks and the
boys, just bear in mind that
they like sensible gifts-things
to wear-nice things. No man
ever had too many cravats, or
handkerchiefs, or socks; no.
nor too many hats or shoes
and so we could run through
the whole list of boys and
mems wearables. IE.!.llG.s
Now, why not give him some
of the things he really needs?
Chances are a couple O. weeks
after Christmas he'll be in here
buying some of the very things
you could have given him.
This great store for men and
boys is complete to the smallest
detail, ready to help you select
practical, sensible gifts for men.
young men and boys; ready
with good wearables from head
to foot, hat to shoes, big stocks
of everything, and always high
grade-but never high-priced.
And after looking through
the store. IL you're still in
doubt, buy a gift certificate and
give him that. He can come in
any time and get goods to suit
him-for any amount you care
to spend.
Well put any of your pur-
chases in individual gift boxes
or pack them for you for ship
ment to distant points.
