During the past year we have given away MANY CARLOADS of useful souvenirs. We stop now and turn that
idea over to our "old fogy" imitators who are never "up-to-date" in anything.
We offer our new idea , most liberal of all our previous efforts. Think of it $100,000 actually given away !
HOW WILL , WEX DO IT ?
I IJRSjT .By dropping all gifts of every description , ancZ reducing our expenses
to the lowest notch.
SJEJGO-NjD 13y cutting the price as far as possible on every article ofmerchan-
dise we handle , and selling to the people on the very lo\vest margin of prof it.
THIRD JBy doubling our sales and running them into the millions. A. large
business on a small profit \vill surely do this.
A lar c business on a small profit is aptly illustrated by "Uncle Sam's" postal department. For 2 cents they carry a packet in the mails
5,000 miles and deliver it. How can this be done without loss. Yet it is done , and the government reaps n small profit on every 2 cent stamp sold.-
For a single 5 cent nickel the street car company will carry you many miles , and not at a loss either they make a profit on everv passenger.
The millions patronize "Uncle Sam. " A multitude p itroui/.J the street ears.
Thousands will patronize W. R. Uennett Go. We will Sill our goods not at a loss , but on suh a low margin of profit that everybody will
be compelled to trade with us in order to save money. Therefore , we will do a larger business , on smaller profits , and the people will reap the
benefit. We live in an age where it is impossible to stand still. We either progress or recede. Dennett's motto has always been : FORWARD.
By 15 years of honesty and square dealing in this city , we are proud to say we have obtained the confidence of the people and from n
small beginning our business has grown until now we have'one of the largest department stores in the west , and our name is n household word
ill the homes of Omaha. ,

A QRElArP FA.G'T :
11
While we did not advance prices to pay for past souvenirs every re'asonuble person knows that by dropping souvenirs and other gifts
made to influence trade our prices eau lowered to just that extent , arid furthermore , if we can double our sales wj can sU goods so eujap that
the saving to our customers would buy two or three souvenirs where befpre'thcy got but one.
THESE ARE HARD , COLD FACTS , and the sooner everyone falls hi line with IKsiinstt's new idea tli3 S3onr will they realize how
much larger the purchasing power of a silver dollar becomes. e- , X
REMEMBER THIS NEW DEPARTURE In prices must not be classed with the every day heralded "fakes" of our competitors.
This is no clearing sale of old stock. - It is no below cost sale.
It is no bankrupt stock sale. . - . It is no anniversary sale.
No ( ire sale No humbug sale. It is a genuine cut in prices on first class guaranteed merchandisc--thcrc arc no newer , fresher or batter
goods in the city. ' ' * ' '
-I ! n
* LET LJ.S REASON TOGETHER , on this matter. In the first place , we want to disabuse your minds of a
few wrong ideas and make clear to the public a few points of'modernmerchandising ; and sa-we plainly state right here a
few things we can't do and carry out now-departure idea : - ' '
WE CAN'T sell a few goods below cost to catch the confiding public as some stores do and then gull them on
other goods.
WE CAN'T sell brown cotton at 2 cents that costs 5 cents and wa will not do lots of other thin" that our
competitors do to CATC H THE UNWARY and then BLEED them on something else.
Remember the old story of the "SPIDER AND THE FLY. " We warn yon not to be BAMBOOZLED by UNLIKELY below cost prices-thcy
arc a delusion and a snare. <
OUR MOTTO A SMALL MARGIN on everything. ROBBERY on nothing.
Our reputation as merchants is at stake when we sell goods. We dare not abuse the confidence of our customers. We confidently seek
your good will and patronage , with the assurance that you will receive square dealing here , and save many and nr.my a hard-earned dollar.
Thrifty housekeepers will carefully study our new-departure prices , and we trust thev will nrike comparisons , go the rounds examine
values and prices , and we are sure of their trade. SAVK MONEY IS THE DEMAND OF THE TIMES.
OUR. BAJLxCONY.
The unprecedented increase in our grocery trade has compslled us to again double our capacity. We have had built an immense balcony
extending the full length of the store.
This SPLENDID ANNEX adds a thousand square feet to this mammoth department.
It will be INAUGERATED TUESDAY MORNING by a GRAND BALCONY OPENING , and from 7 a. in. until 9 p. m. we shall introduce this
now department to our patrons and sell CHOICE LEMONS , JUICY ORANGES and other goods at unheard of prices. Don't miss a visit to our bal
cony we keep open until 9 o'clock Tuesday night , and everybody is invited to u eh nice at the wonderful bargains on the BALCONY.
The Idea in connection withjiur balcony , was to furnish our customers a place where they c.in sit down at a tihle : and quietly inspect goods by
sample , on the same plan as a dealer does when purchasing from a wholesale house give their order and see it filled.
