GR.EA.X SALE OF AM! ifIOAN MADE LACES
Showing Scores of Patterns and Thousands of Yards of Superior Val Laces at Half the Price of Foreign Made Goods
Again American persevereiice has won and this country now takes its place among" the foremost nations in the lace making industry. For centuries we looked to the
,r01d World" to supply our laces today, in the best lighted and the most sanitary factories in the world, well paid, contented American men and wonien arc producing
dainty laces surpassing those made abroad and making them at costs wljjch allows our selling them at half the price of foreign goods. . -"
Next Tuesday this store 'THE STORE FOR YOU" inaugurates the first sale of the kind ever held in North Platte and introduces to you the
American line of Val. Laces. Scores of exquisite new patterns, matched hi edges and insertions in all widths. Individual patterns shown in as
, many as six different widths in edges and an equal number of widths in insertions. How American women should enthuse over these goods! How
pleased they should be, how pleased they will be to buy them, knowing that when they do so they are furnishing employment to American labor; help
ing to build in this country an industry which ranks high in the leading industries of the world. How great is this industry, how important it is, can
be realized when you are told that each year during the past decade more than one hundred million dollars worth of laces have been imported and
that the annual tariff duty approximates sixty million dollars. It is the duty now of American women to support this great new ihdnstry in America.

For American Val. Laces
That are even better than foreign goods that
must be sold at ioc and i2c How is this possible?
In the first place, there's the "duty" of 6o percent.
Then there are transportation charges, importer's com
missions, etc. You savethem'all in buying American
Vals. because we buy these goods direct from the
American Lace Manufacturing Company, Elyria, Ohio.

Come and See These Laces
This isn't a mere sale announcement, it is an invitation
to an exposition of the product of one of America's new
and successful industries. We invite not only the
women of North Platte, but all men as well who are
interested in American made goods and the upbuilding
of American industries In the production of these
goods America has indeed triuYnphed and we invite
.you-to come and see the finished product and join in
welcoming these new goods into the American market,
From a Recent Article Published Regarding This
New Industry.
American history knows no bounds and thoro is no enterprise too largo
or complicated'for Americans to attempt. Slowly but surely tho continent
is gaining tho reputation of operating every known factory in tho world.
After a long drawn out struggling of over eight years an nrticlo is
being manufactured on a paying baMs in Elyria, Ohio, which bids fair to
save American pooplo an annual import duty of over $60,000,000. It is
"French "Valoncionnos" laco or "Val" as American women torm it, monop
olized for conturics by foreign countries, largely in Franco, England,
Germany, Russia, AuBtria and Isuttingham, whoro it is estimated over
100,000 peoplo are employed in tho different factories.
Tho advantages of this industry in America nro obvious when you stop
to. consider that nil lacea imported Into this country have GO per cont duty
put on thorn, which last year eoBt tho Amorlcan-pooplo 60,000.000. Tho
people do not havo the extra duty to pay and tho United States has an-'
other industry which heretofore has been monopolized by foroign countries.
It is one of tho manufacturing triumphs of tho century.

for American Val Laces
That are even better than Foreign Goods
that must be sold at from 15c to 25c a yard Can you
afford to pay such differences? Even if price should
not enter into the consideration, should you, for the
many and various other reasons buy Foreign made
laces? CERTAINLY NOT! Then, ask for and buy
only American made Laces.

An Opportune Introduction.
No other laces are used as extensively as are the Vals.
Nearly every wash dress, Waist and other wash apparel
are trimmed more or less elaborately with Dainty Vals.
Now that they are about half the price they were when
we had to depend on import goods, it is only reason-,
able that they will be used to even greater extent
Women planning their summer wardrobes will quickly
recognize the importance of this event and the oppor
tunity that this exposition and sale affords for supply
ing their wants in this line.
On Merit Not Sentiment.
American Laces will take the sale of these goods in America. If American
made goods were not as good no one could be asked to buy them in
preference to imported laces, but distinctly understand US they're better
This being true, won't you ask for and buy American made laces?
The World Is Challenged.
To show or produce Val Laces that are even equal to "American made"-i-Yet
we can sell American Vals at half and less than half of what must be
asked for Foreign Vals. Xome Tuesday and sec this great display, and
benefit from this introductory sale of American made laces.
