WHITE FLAG IS UP PANTON’S DEPARTMENT STORE SURRENDERS Over a hundred thousand dollars’ worth of merchandise now selling for whatever it will bring. The greatest sale Seattle has seen since the McCarthy smashup, nearly ten years ago. ERE are four floors filled with mer- a chandise, and everything is selling. 4 A milliner from Blaine bought a season's stock. A dealer from uptown bought a wagon Mead of Dolls and Toys— ‘ And thousands came and bought sup- Plies of every s It’s the greatest, happiest and most bene- ficial sale Seattle ever had. It is so big that it would take pages of this newspaper to tell about it. All we can do is to give you a brief hint tonight. VERYTHING is marked down—even contract goods. Loads of fixtures are for sale. Last night we made still deeper cuts. Whenever anything drags along we re- duce it still further. For merchandise is only worth what it will bring. And any storekeeper who thinks other- wise fools nobody but himself! ESTERDAY we found a lot of 25¢ e Ribbons that had been reduced to 10c. And they didn’t sell quickly, so we'll put "em all down to five cents. 5 A big lot of Wide Flouncings, Swiss and _ Nainsook, that were $3.00 and $4.00 a yard, so were cut again. This time from $1.98 to ninety-eight cents. 3 Hundreds of yards of Laces that were 35c and 20c were cut again. This time to five cents. OYS’ Suits that were three dollars and y a half are cut to $1.95. a Another big lot that were $4.00 are cut to $2.48. All colors, all styles and all good fabrics. Boys’ $4.50 and $5.00 School Suits are tut to $2.89. The finest five-dollar Suits, including Russian Blouse Suits, in Blue and Brown j N the Basement Salesroom P you'll find ’em selling Boys’ and Girls’ Oxfords for 89c that were once priced at $2.00 and $2.50. And Women’s $3.50 Shoes, lace and button, for $1.48. And Children’s Rubbers for 23c. | °« And Dolls and Toys and 4 playthings at a third to a half less than usual. : Lace Curtains are ’way less than half price. And there are lots of ’em. Hotel men were buying yes- terday, so they won’t last long. All sales for cash—all sales final—delivery system abolished. Doors open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. tomorrow. Come early. Serges, and in Navy Velvet—are all cut to $3.15. Some of 'em are Panton’s regular stock Some are from a wholesaler who bought not wisely, but too well. All are fine and dandy and shamefully cheap. We put them with the Men's Suits on the Balcony. HE Men's Suits are has-wassers that a friend wants us to sell in order to help out the widow of a clothing merchant— all she's saved from the smash Eisen- They're Kuppenheimer’s and heimer-Stern’s make. Mostly small sizes. Some fierce. Some funny. Some fine. We've put two prices on them. Young men and slender boys, just get- ting into long pants, will have no trouble in finding a fit. Choice at $3.78 and $5.75. Which is about as cheap as an all-wool suit ought to be sold for We put them on the Balcony, too. A handful of Boys’ Wash Suits that are somewhat badly soiled— We've marked 25¢ apiece. They were originally $1.00. N the Second Floor you'll find hun- dreds of Dresses for girls. Some that were $2.00 have been marked down to 98c. Some that were $1.00 are marked down to 49c. Girls’ Rain Capes that were $1.98 we have cut to $1.10. Sizes for big girls, too. All sorts of fancy Dresses are half price. All the little fancy Coats for little people are half price—we hadn't time to mark ‘em all. And because the Millinery Lady doesn't like my style of talk I've promised to put in a big square for her tomorrow—and here it is: TRIMMED HATS Worth $4 to $6, Are to Go on Sale at $2.10 Hundreds of them, all fresh, new and beau- tiful. No two alike. $4.00—many worth up to $6.00. Choice of the lot while they last— None worth less than Egg enough for one night The Tale of the Drug Store— The Tale of the Notion Store— The Tale of the Ribbon Store— The Tale of the Men's Store—all will have to be told in later chapters. Each one of 'em would fill half a page of this paper (and, alas, would cost a lot of money!) And we want to turn these goods into cash with the least possible expense So please help by taking small parcels with you By shopping early. 4 By reporting to the office any mistakes that occur. We don't claim to be infallible. We're only human. But we're at least half-way honest, and we'll make right anything that goes wrong. Open Saturday night till 9 o'clock.
