and now
iVbf a sae, but a new policy read!
The "house of Wescott" has been serving the people of Platts
mouth and vicinity with clothing for an unbroken period of 44
years. Measured by the flight of Time, the principles, ideals and
policies of this store have stood the acid test.
Today, we put into effect a new idea in the merchandising of
men's suit3 and overcoats an idea that has proven most effec
tive in the larger cities and which we believe will be equally so
here. Heretofore we have scattered our effort over a price range
with but a dollar or two variation between, making too many lines
to keep up and merely confusing the customer with too many
prices.
Hereafter we shall concentrate and specialize on
three popular prices $25, $30, $35 and to these
three prices shall bring every ounce of value and
quality that our years of experience can command.
We believe after careful study and survey that the idea is logi
cally correct and psychologically opportune. We are asked every
season "what's a good suit or overcoat going to cost me?" the
answer is blazoned at the top of this ad and we intend to make
these three prices so famous in Plattsmouth that you can easily
plan your clothing appropriation months in advance $25, $30
or $35.
You may call this the Ford policy if you choose, but at any rate
it cuts out overhead, lost motion and scattered effort. It's a
policy that saves you money by putting clothing on your back for
less than.it can be handled any other way. It means standar
dized, specialized clothing prices; it means the shortest possible
cut from the manufacturer to consumer; it means economy in
clothing buying; it means clothing where it belongs; at prices you
can afford to pay.
Come in and try the old store under the new policy. If you
want a still finer suit or overcoat we have XTRA QUALITY
CLOTHES-$40, $45, $50. ........

Party Seeking Supply of "Snow" is
Visitor at Office of Dr. Flynn .
and Threatens Him. .
From Saturdays Dally.
1 Early last evening there was more
or less excitement created at the of
fice of Dr. P. J. Flynn when an al
, leged "snowbird" visited the office
seeking a little dope with which to
freshen up and when the physician
; refused to give any of the precious
jjoy powder to the young man, he
j proceeded to give Dr. Flynn to un
derstand that there would be many
I varieties of misfortune come to him
ii me arug was not proaueea. in
order to get rid of the man. Dr.
Flynn called a friend and asked them
to notify the police and in a few
moments the doper was in the hands
of the law.
The man goes by the name of
Robertson and came here last year,
where he entered the shops and
worked there until last fall, when hei
left and later this spring returned
here and worked for a short time
and at that time It was thought by

was a drug addict from his actions

wife while here and finally removed
from this city to Omaha, where he
has since been located and from
where he came to Plattsmouth yes
terday afternoon.
After Robertson was arrested by
the police, he calmed down to
great extent and agreed that he
would leave the city at once and give
no more trouble and as there could
be little gained by placing him in

aha on the 7:39 Missouri Pacific

from his feet and undoubtedll will
seek more congenial friends for his
dope in the future.
