Wescott's Sons "ON THE CORKER" On Wednesday of this coming week the Plattsmouth merchants are observing their forty-sixth Bargain "Wednesday, or the community sales day. These events have proven real opportunities to the residents of the Plattsmouth trading territory and have given values to the shoppers that they cannot duplicate in any other place for money saving bar gains. This month the merchants are car rying their special features in their large advertisements that are ap pearing In the Journal and from these the shoppers can glean the in formation that they wish as to what is being offered and the remarkably low prices at which they are being offered to the public. These sales have attracted much attention over the entire county and in the adjoining counties of Sarpy and Mills county, Iowa, where the visitors from these localities have found that the Plattsmouth values are real ones and that the best and most seasonable merchandise can be purchased at bed rock prices, with the added assurance that the depend able merchants are standing back of the goods that they sell. There is. no "get what you can" in these sales as every article comes from stores that have the policy of giving their patrons real values and good goods. The shopper can personally inspect the merchandise they are buying; there are no "picture" sales, with the purchaser taking what is sent them, but the goods are right there in view and the merchant selling them Is standing back of the mer merchandise that comes from their shelves. Those who in the past have pat ronized these sales know that Bar gain Wednesday in Plattsmouth is an event which deserves its popu larity and those who have not at tended these sales have the oppor tunity of getting in on the coming big event.
