ALLIANCE, NEBRASKA
Stop your kickin' 'bout the time;
Get a hustle on you;
Skirmish 'round and grab the dimes,
If the dollar hun you. I
Croakin' never bought a dres;
Growlin' ii-n't in it;
Fix your peepers on fuccess,
Then go in to win it.
Times is gettin' good again
Try to help them all you kin.
It doesn't make a sentiment any
trer to ay it in verse, but tometimes
a verce will tick in the mind when
plain prose won't Ftay. BuaineM is
fretting better right along and any
one who Mops to think of it will admit
it's true. The only trouble is that the
very fellows who are the most inter
ested in good business forget them
selves now and then and talk pessim
ism, just out of force of habit Once a
man gets a little down in the mouth,
he is likely to stay that way. It
doesn't take so much to make a man
feel blue, but it takes a considerable
amount of cheer to get him back to
normal after he's bee ndown in the
dumps for a while.
Business is Improving, right along.
We have been doing our best to make
it so. Our big reductions on all sorts
of men's furnishings are still in effect,
and we're moving goods as rapidly as
during the first days of our big sale. A
number of things are responsible for
this, but chiefly it is due to the fact
that there's always a market for good
merchandise at prices that are right.
Our prices are right, and that is the
one big reason that we haven't had
iny big howl about customers passing
us up. We've done our best, all along
to make reductions as fast as possible,
and our sales books are the best proof
that we have succeeded.
About the best news that has
reached Alliance in the last three
Nuonthn is the news that the railroad
men are being put back to work. We've
always numbered a big bunch of these
fellows among our best friends, und
we've always taken care to keep
stocked up on the things that they re
quire. Kight now, we have a number
of special values that ought to appeal,
not only to railroaders, but every man
who buys special clothes in which to
work. As far as that goes, even the
busy business man needs a work shirt,
a pair of trousers ami an easy pair
of shoes in which to work around the
house. It's harder than ever to mow
the lawn or water the garden if you
have to use your business clothes to
io it in. '
And we've got 'cm, in a big assort
ment. There are work socks at two
pairs for a quarter. It's a law price
for ijuasity good. These ;-ks are
made strong where lrength is needed,
in the heel and toe, and yet they are
rot no heavy as to be uncomfortable
in hot weather. They are goul appt str
ing, too, nnd do fainy well with
your low shoes or when you want to
tress up. We have work shuts at low
prices, tco. There are some at fi!
cents a mighty good value. Ulu.
rhamhray shirts can be bought here
for cents a good quality.
Our work thoes at $2.25 are an es
ecially Kd buy. They are the com
fortable kind, made of pliable leather
muleskin, anil will gie a lot of
wear. They're comparatively easy to
look at, and you will get appearand
in addition to wturinjf qualities and
foot comfort.
v .
Last, but not lea.-t, we have a big
assortment of work pants at $2.4S,
and they ae worth the money. There's
a lot of wear in them. All told, a
workman can get comfortable, service
able clo'ihing here we've got the cool
underwear, too and a complete outfit
won't flatten hi ocketbook to any
marked degree. The man who works
around the house will find it to his
advantage to have a complete outfit,
too, and when he climbs into his good
clothes after the evening's work is
over, he'll know it's worth all it cost
and a whole lot more.
We still have a number of those
good fuita at $24.75, one of the best
buys you can make. They're all new
styles best of material and marked
to sell. The best suits in the house are
only $34.45, and there are others at
considerably lower prices if you're
looking for them. Our aim is to fit
the pocketbook aa well m th man, and
we flatter ourselves we can do both,
although it's hardly ever powdble to
fiize up the one by looking at the other.
Yours as always,
