Men's Fine Suits
Here is the biggest suit bargain to date that has
ever been offered the men of Plattsmouth. We make
this assertion boldly but calmly. We purchased for
cash last week 100 suits, assorted patterns, mostly
dark or medium dark worsted at a blood red low fig
ure. We could put these suits in our regular stock
and retail them at $15 without any trouble, but we
bought them below value and we are going to turn
them back into money quick by selling them at $7.50
cash. They are here in the house now. We'll have
them unpacked, marked and ready for sale by the
time you read this ad. This certainly gives you a
seasonable pay-day bargain. Lets keep the money
at home this time.

The Ladies Are Hustlers.
Sunday was Mothers' Day, and
fhe ladies of St. Mary's (iuild con
ceived the idea of supplying I he
community with white and pink
carnations, to be worn in memory
of the mothers, both living and
dead. On Saturday afternoon the
ladies were stationed at various
places on the street for the sale
of these emblems of the love
borne for the dear mother dead
and for the mother living. The
ladies were supplied with flowers
through L. A. Moure, the florist,
and it is estimated they diposed
of nearly 1,000 at 10 cents each,
which netted quite a neat, little
sum. The ladies of (he (iuild and
assistants deserve great credit for
(heir energy in disposing of so
many of the beautiful flowers.
The ladies of (he (iuild have de
cided fo make Ibis sale of these
beautiful flowers an annual affair
in (he future. The proceeds go
into the treasury of fhe (iuild for
I he benefit of SI. Luke's church;
so when you buy one of these
Mid hers' Day emblems you are at
'l he same lime assisting the ladies
of the St. Mary's (iuild in a mighty
good wurk.

characters in the cast. A very
handsome chorus of young ladies
added greatly (o fhe success of
the evening. A great deal of credit
