i} measure. THE SEATTLE ST THE COST OF LIVING Despite the Glaring Headlines in Many Newspapers Telling of Soaring Prices Not a penny advance in the price of these thousands and thou- sands of dollars’ worth of beautiful new Fall Silks and Dress Goods. Absolutely no change in the prices of these enormous stocks of Bedding, Linens and Cotton stuffs. You are protected in price as long as present stocks of a million and three-quarters last. D. M. C. Cotton has gone up 25 per cent in the New York mar- ket—but there has been no change in Bon Marche prices. Piver’s Exquisite French Odors and Toilet Waters have been advanced 50 per cent all along the line—but you'll not find any advance in prices at this store. The wholesale price of Pure Cane Sugar is $8.15 a sack in Seattle today—we're selling it at $7.40. We only ask that you don’t buy more than a sack at a time, for it fills the delivery wagons so full. Good old Bon Marche Flour is $140 a sack today—same as it was six months ago. If you come to the Bon Marche’s Pure Food Store Saturday you'll find the popular “Mayflower” Coffee selling at 30c a pound, and the finest quality of Washington Creamery Butter for 32 1-2c a pound. Surely convincing proof that Seattle’s Big Store is willing and able to stand betwixt you and advancing prices. Here’s Clothes Economy for Men REMAINDERS OF SEVERAL LINES OF —MEN’S $15.00 BUSINESS SUITS— Are Re-Priced at $8.50 To Get Them Out of the Way in a Hurry Only one or two of a kind, but all sizes from 34 to 42—-in one pattern or another—most of them fn the conservative business sack style—with a few belted Norfolka. Many of theese Sulte are nice for Fall wear—especially the dark gray worstede—or the heavy brown striped casstmerce. The black Suits with the white hairline stripes will likely be the first to go, for they are quite in style just now.
