Burgess-Nash Announce An Important Change Of Store Policy EVER zealous to gain and hold the perfect confidence of the shopping pub lic and regarding the integrity of our printed or spoken word as too sacred to be clouded by the slightest doubt, we have decided that: - '. . . , , . , The Use of Comparative Prices Will Be Discontinued in All of Our Advertisements EFFECTIVE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1st This is a radical move upon our part, but we believe that a plain statement about the merchandise offered will have sufficient weight to arouse your interest. The adoption of this policy in our advertising is due to the abnormal conditions existing today because of the European War, which has resulted in price fluctuations bo frequent and so great that it is difficult for merchants to determine the exact value of merchandise. Then, too, comparative price quotations have a tendency of encouraging exagger ation. No matter how vigilant one may be no matter what caution one may exer cise no matter how severely one may censor the copy sent in by the various depart- ments concerning the merchandise, mis-statements are likely to occur. They may be due merely to over-enthusiasm on the part of one individual, or to an honest error of judgment on the part of another, but the results are the same. There will be no change in our policy of offering special values. Our sale feat ures will continue to be saving attractions of greatest importance. When fortunate trade deals permit, we shall offer you the full benefit of them, but in no' case will we quote comparative values. This forward step is the result of an evolution that is creating a better understand ing and a spirit of greater confidence between the merchant and the public and it is our desire to always serve you better to be of the "greatest service to the greatest Dumber" and in reality be "Everybody's Store." is Scout Masters' Meeting Delayed for Two Weeks When only about fifteen of the scout masters and prospective scout masters for the boy scout movement in Omaha, appeared for the organiza tion meeting last night at the new headquarters, the meeting was turned into an informal discussion and the definite organisation program was postponed to two weeks from last night.
