STAR—TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1915, PAGE 3. Written at John Panton's 3 * Monday Afternoon at x S this is being written, the store is filled with people, and it sounds as though a babel had broken loose. i There never were so many people in this store i di in its history as there are at this minute Indeed, it looks as though we'd do more busi- mess today than we did a week ago, when the it should be, because when a store ndise cheap—really and truly cheap —it advertises itself. I am to tell today just what is happening to the merchandise, and the prices. T am to write, without exaggeration or without over-much praise, just what has been done and what is to be done for those who come TOMOR- ROW. This news-gathering journey I began on the FIRST FLOOR—right near the door. N THE GLOVE SECTION—I found Kay- ser’s Silk Gloves in all colors, and black and white, that sell everywhere for fifty cents— marked 39c. All Kayser’s seventy-five cent Gloves are 59c. All one dollar Kayser's Gloves are 79c. The long ones that were $1.50 have been cut to $1.19. Long KID GLOVES that were formerly owned by Martin's Glove Store, in the Empress building, have been cut to 98c. (They were $3.00 d $3.50, and are in all colors and black and Fownes’, too. Fownes’ $2.00 Gloves, in all and in black and white, are $1.49. Fownes’ $1.50 Gloves at $1.19. And every pair of Dollar Kid Gloves in the pre is marked 79c. Rie THE OTHER SIDE you will find a big % display of very beautiful EASTER NECK- "WEAR. Lily Collars that were 69c are cut to 39c. Linen Collars, plain and embroidered, such as Nurses wear, are Sc each; worth 15c and 25c. * Collars that were SOc and 75c are 19c. i iT ALONGSIDE you will find thou- sands of Handkerchiefs—any kind that anybody > wants. Boxes of 3 Fine Linen Handkerchiefs for 35¢ instead of 50c. oN Panton’s 35c boxes (containing three), are 23c, and the finest dollar boxes of Pure Linen Kerchiefs are all 69c a box. Then, besides these, there are 10c Handker- chiefs for 7c. Fifteen-cent Handkerchiefs for 10c—and 25¢ Handkerchiefs for 19c. Every Handkerchief is reduced. IGHT AROUND THE CORNER from the ribbons you will find the LACES AND _ EMBROIDERIES—a tableful of Embroideries and Edgings—Corset Cover Embroideries and _ Beadings—that Panton sold at 25c a yard—are - mow 15c. A pile of Hungarian Embroidered Flouncings, 45 inches wide, that were $1.25 are now 29c. A big lot of Beadings and Bands of fine Swiss ; OWN ON THE SECOND FLOOR you'll find hundreds of Wash Dresses for girls, big and little.

Women’s Dressing Sacques in pretty colors, that were 69c and 75c, are 39c. Dress $1.00 to $1.50, all the newest styles*and colors—have been cut for quick closing to 59c. worth up to 50c none but on which you can! “THE PLACE LOOKS AS THOUGH A CYCLONE HAD HIT IT” The janitor man, who comes in to sweep up at night after the crowds are gone, so expressed himself on Sat- urday night. And the janitor manwas right—it did. This is because thousands are buying in the closing- out sale of the Panton Department Store stock. And nothing quite so good has ever happened in Seattle be- fore. Here’s another batch of news for tonight: and Nainsook, that were 15c and 25¢ a yard, are now 10 Venetian Lace Bandings of very finest quality, that were $2.75 and $3.00 a yard, are cut to 98c. Wide Flouncings of the finest Swiss that were $2.50 a yard, are also 98c. These are 45 inches wide. Torchon and Cluny Laces and Curtain Edg- ings in various widths up to 4 inches, that were 10c a yard, are all cut to 3c You can find them easy enough—there's a crowd around them all the time! Embroidery Edgings and Beadings that Pan- ton sold for 15c¢ are now Sc a yard. There’s another crowd around these all the time, too. LITTLE BIT FURTHER up the aisle you come to the RIBBONS Every yard has been marked down with a red pencil. In many cases the reductions are startling. For example, 35c¢ plain Velvet Rib- bons are 15c yard— and they are 4 ins. wide. Dresden, printed, Taffeta Ribbons are 39¢. Gorgeous flow- ered Ribbons, that were $1.48, are 85c a yard. Roman Striped Girdle Ribbons—very wide and heavy, that Panton sold for $1.98—are $1.39 a yard. A whole show case is filled with plain Taffetas and plain Moire Ribbons in all colors. And there is plenty of white, pink and blue. These were 25c—now they are 17c a yard. Narrow Velvet Ribbons that were 10c are Sc a yard. Persian and Embroidered Ribbons that were 15c¢ and 20c are selling for a nickel a yard. CHIFFONS AND VEILINGS are all reduced. All the $1.50 ones for 98c. 98c quality are cut to 75c. The 75c ones are cut to 59c. White Net Veils that were 48c are cut to 10c. N THE JEWELRY SECTION (and this really is a very good jewelry section), you'll find quite a lot of useful articles for the home and personal adornment. For example, $8.50 sets of Rogers’ Knives and Forks are cut to $5.98. $2.25 sets of Bouillon Spoons are $1.49. Set of $2.25 Butter Knives cut to $1.49. Teaspoons that $1.98 set are $1.38. $4.25 sets of Knives and Forks are now $2.98 Berry Spoons that were $1.25 are 87c. Sugar Holders were that were 50c are now 36c.

In- deed, there is nothing quite so good at anywhere near these prices. the entire stock, and do it quickly, your choice tomor- row for ——$ 1.45 choicest styles, To close out Shapes that were It's a Thousands of Flowers, 5c | home. and 10c.

IGHT NEAR THE DOOR you will find the UMBRELLA SECTION. All Panton's stock of $1.00 Umbrellas for Men and Women are 69c. And, like every store, this one claims to have the best Dollar Umbrella in the world. No doubt they all tell the same tale the same way. Very much better and handsomer Umbrellas for Men and Women, that were $3.50, are cut to $2.39 And the finest $4.95 ones are now $3.49. P ON THE THIRD FLOOR you will find piles of Undermuslins out on the tables that can be bought downright cheap. One table is filled with Gowns and Corset Covers, Combinations and Chemises. They're all 39c. Some are badly soiled—but one visit to the laundry will fix ‘em. No use telling you how high Panton’s prices were, be- cause you might think this is fiction. The sale price is 39c. Corset Covers that were 50c and 75c are 25c. Drawers and Combinations of the finest quality, that were $1.50, are 69c. A tableful of Baby Petti- coats, Muslin Drawers, that were 25c, are all a dime. Another table of Baby Sacques, Kimonos, Pet- ticoats, Baby Pillows, Shawls and almost every- thing for babies on this table that Panton sold up to a dollar apiece, are 49c. And Baby Hats, Caps and Bonnets that were worth up to $3.00, are two-bits apiece. Most of them are badly soiled—that’s why. Babies’ Knitted Woolen Sweaters that were $2.50 are 59c. Knitted Bootees that were 69c are 35c. Babies’ Flannelette Gowns are 29c. HAT’S enough for one night, the news of the Basement Salesroom will have to do for a later chapter until we can find more time and space. The Dry Goods stock of John Mc- Hugh, Tacoma, is coming in every day, and we shall have it ready as soon as possible. Everything will be plainly marked to sell at from 30c to 60c on the dol- lar. The balance of the Martin bank- rupt stock has been placed in with Panton’s stock, and will be sold at the same reductions as were in force in the Empress theatre building. Everything is plainly and honestly marked—no attempt is made to exag- gerate, or make people believe they're getting better values than they really are. The splendid volume of business that poured into. this store is of itself the greatest testimony as to the gen- uineness of the values. And we shall close out Panton's Department Store just as surely as we closed out Martin’s Glove Store, and we shall not take all summer to do it. Buy whatever you need— Don't buy anything unless it'll pay you to buy it. Don't give us any of your money if you can get better value or better service anywhere else. We do not want business unless we deserve it. Keep to the right in the aisles— take the things you buy with you— we cannot séll goods for less than they're worth and then pay autos and chauffeurs to deliver 'em. the , PANTON’S DEPARTMENT STORE *’Leven Seven to ’Leven ’Leven Second Ave. ‘al Don’t ask for Trading Stamps—we can’t sell merchandise cheap and give stamps with it | | | ALHAMBRA Charlie Chaplin ment!
