Custom and habit of other years have not the slightest effect upon him, when strong merchandise move ments are concerned. “Beddeo” of The Beddeo Cloth ing Co., 1415-1417 Douglas St., or rather “Elmer,” to his nearer acquaintances, is the man in question. “Beddeo” is shifting seasons with a vengeance. “Why wait un til January to reduce my clothes prices,” says “Beddeo,” "when folks need clothes to meet cold weather demands now, deeply ap preciating a price dropping now, just BEFORE Christmas?” And not only that, but Beddeo temporarily suspends regular terms and makes it easier than ever for clothing and dress buy ers to purchase garments ns Christmas Gifts to themselves, friends and loved ones—^Beddeo for the time being revises his payment and comes out boldly with an offer to sell anything in the house upon a down payment of merely $5. One may well imagine what this ‘$5 down’ proposition means; for instance, it puts an elegant fur coat Into possession of a woman who otherwise would have to postpone buying, or per haps do without the coat entire ly this season. Then, again, the irmn with Christmas Gifts to buy for a list as long ns your arm is eased up considerably; he may buy his gifts with vrhat money he has nnd use his Credit at Bed deo’s on the clothes he also must hove. And even nfter the $5 deposit has been paid Beddeo offers a de lightfully Kasy Payment plan on the balance of the price involved. The Credit idea has surely been brought down to a science at the Beddeo establishment. Summing up matters entirely, The Beddeo Clothing Co. today offers any Man’s, Roman's or Child’s garments in its establish ment at only $5 Down adding every cut price advantage usually delayed until January nnd then widely hernlded. “I want to make it a really Merry Christmas for my army of friends," says Beddeo, and the crowds of interested shoppers at his establishment seem to sub stantiate his desire. The Beddeo Clothing Co. is sit uated at 1415-17 Dougins St., Omaha, and not only offers Its servica to Omaha ns but to out of-town folks ns well. Mail or ders will be filled for any of the featured sale item* with Credit inducements offered Just as : though the buyer were residing in Omaha. “Merry Chtistmns ,»nd Janu ary Prica Cut* Now," say* Beddeo. hauling or stops.
