OMAHA'S ONLY MODERN CLOTHING STORE
Announcing the Beginning of a Series of
Genuine Bargain Sales
Thursday Morning, January 4th
Wo will start our bifj winter cleanup by offering broken lots of
OVERC
HALF
$10 to $60 Overcoats for
$500 to $30.00
The reason for selling overcoats
in advance of the suit sale
Every one knows how great have been tho crowds iu former yeara on the first Sat
urday of our great Half Vrlce Sale. Such great crowds have always miulo It Impossible
to give each customer the high class service for which this store Is famous. Last year
we tried an experiment. We started our sales by selling Overcoats on Thursday. VK
thus served about 2,000 customers, who would otherwise have been compelled to come
on Saturday. They got better attention. So did those who came on Saturday. Snt
urday shoppers lost nothing In way of assortment owing to tho thousands of overcoats
Included. The experiment was so satisfactory to all that we propose to follow tho
same course this year. If you need an overcoat, want to save half and have the
time, buy it here on Thursday or Friday. We point to our past performances as suf
ficient reason why It is not necessary now, and here, to dwell upon the fact that this
is a Sale you can patronize, fully confident that you are getting the newest and brfst
garment at an honest reduction of one-half. No specially purchased "Job" lots. No
inflated "original" prices. No expert knowledge necessary to pick a "prize" bargain.
Every garment has stood a reduction equal to any other garment. A fair and square
sale that will warm you up to this greatest of clothing stores.

Don't Overlook This

but we ask you to withhold Judgment con
cerning ours until you have visited our
store. We have the goods we say we hava
and make the reduction wo say we make.
If. when you look at these overcoats, they
don't look good to you, If you think we've
"faked" you, don't buy Wo are mora anx
ious for yoni satisfaction than your money.
And I'lease don't make jsanastio remarkM
to our snlcsmen. They're a good humored
set of gentlemen but It provokes them to
hear people express lack or appreciation of
our values. When they get provoked they
ran t administer our superb store service
as we desire.
