All day representatives of tho store
hustled around town scouting op the

the 2.M denomination are rather a scares
article,' and It was necessary to go to
the Houth Omaha hanks, as not a suffi

Mr. Hoixman and Mr. Bwenaon de

"Other stores have bargain sales," J
clared Mr. Holsman, "and we wanted
something different, something distinc

piece. Of course, we will have the usual
large number of Saturday bargains and
perhaps a few more than on ordinary
