Omaha Sunday The Purchasing Power of a Dollar Was Never So Gresrt as in the Closing-Out of the Bennett Stocks The true test of a sale comes in its "first night," in theatrical parlance-or, rather, at its beginning. If those who come on the first day? or during the first week of a sale find it to be as represented, and purchase liberally, you may rest assured that it is a sale you should attend at your very first opportunity. Every need of wardrobe and home can be bought at great savings. The Wfiole-Heartedness of Purpose in this Sale is So Manifest, and the Bargains Ring So True, That Those Who Have Come Hate Realized the Importance of the Sale to Such an Extent They Deemed it Their Duty to Tell Their Friends Concerning Its Advantages You will feel as they do after you have seen the bargains in every department of the store. But we are entering the "home stretch" of this big sale-the bar- .. . . . ... ... . . n i ! -a '; ' 1-3 f il..'. ..1.). H!. Mi o gams can't last much longer. You must act quickly and take advantage or every opportunity as w is presemeu. rvi ima wwk wmug you win una mucn new merchandise-some of -it remaining from the cancelled orders of the Bennett Company, which we purchased, some being special purchases made to fill the gaps in lines that need the help to expedite the closing out. EVERY ITEM IN THE STOBE IS A BARGAIN. ' A Circumstance in the Garment Store That We Feel Should Be Brought to Your Notice Friday morning a lady came into our store and asked to see some of the suits we had on sale. The style of one of the $10.00 ones happened to strike her fancy, but she refused to buy it at the time, saying that she did not think it possible to sell an all wool suit, with a guaranteed lining, tailored up to a high standard, for ten dollars. We explained to her the conditions governing this sale and she replied that she would rather pay a higher price and be sure of the quality. . We advised the lady to shop around a while and- compare what she found at $20.00 to $30.00 with the ones we were offering at about $10.00. She did. The result was that she came back in the afternoon and purchased the $10.00 suit we showed her. All of which leads us gently up to this point-every gar ment in the Bennett stock was a garment of quality and reduced prices have in no way affected quality. The same condition applying to the sale of the suit we have Just described prevails In the entire stock. To give you an idea of how we are moving them out, we quote :- Lingerie Dresses patterned after French models; are all that could be desired in daintiness and style tor mid-summer wear; worth from $39.00 to $59. 00, Monday, about half price, or $17.50 to $25.00 rirrw i im tft2imi urn tit Store Closes at 5 O'clock 89c Shirts for Men Who Feel the Heat We don't mean to say that men won't feel the heat in these shirts, but we do, say they are the coolest and best wearing shirts ever seen in Omaha for 89c.
