Of FORCED TO QUIT! I am forced to vacate the room which I now occupy, and there is no desirable location in the city. This forces me to QUIT THE SHOE BUSINESS IN THIS TOWN. Moving a stock entails great loss. I have decided to take the loss right here without having to move the stock, if price cutting will do it. I will sacrifice every pair of high grade shoes in stock at once. This will be a shoe sale that will never present itself again in years. I will stop for nothing, not a pair of shoes will be left the day I quit, and quit I must. Be on hand FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18th AT 9 O'CLOCK And you will see the BIGGEST SHOE SALE EVER HELD IN NORTH PLATTE. Come to this sale, it will pay you to come one hun dred miles to this genuine shoe sale and supply yourself and family with the best shoes that are made. Here are a few of the many, many bargains we will offer you: MEN'S SHOES. $2.50 Grade, now 1.45 3.00 Grade, now 1.95 4.00 Grade, now 2.95 6.00 and 5.00 Grade, now 3.65 $2.00 Grade, now .95 3.00 Grade, now . 1.95 4.00 Grade, now 2.95 6.00 and 5.00 Grade, now 3.65 CHILDREN'S SHOES IN PROPORTION. ONE WORD TO THE PUBLIC: Since I started in the Shoe Business in this city, I have spared no expense or time to secure the best Merchandise to be had, in order to work up a substantial Business (which I did). My Shoes consist of the better makes and up-to-date styles. This gives you an opportuntity to select from this splendid stpck at one-third and one-half off the former prices.
