150 Years 1887-1901 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 6 PEASE & MAYS VERY METROPOLITAN A PLEASING EFFECT - The store of Pease & Mays now presents a most attractive appearance. A large shipment of new goods has just arrived and the public will be given every opportunity to inspect them through the display at the store and the published announcements in the newspapers. The three large show windows, dressed by Mr. S.P. Briggs, are as handsome as they can be. In one is displayed laces, ranging from the more costly, through all the intermediate grades, of varying colors and widths, draped in handsome folds, and well calculated to inspire the envy of possession by all who may observe them. In the center window is shown the dress goods, new patterns of imported sateens [sic] and cloaking, etc. The corner window is devoted to gent's furnishing goods. The shelves are well filled with the new goods. A line of handkerchiefs on a wire above are reserved for Saturday's special sale. Above the shelves and for the entire length of the store are draped chenille table covers, and the rear of the store is separated by potteries reaching from the ceiling. The combined effect is very handsome, the store as a whole presenting a metropolitan appearance in accord with our importance as a trading center.
