North Platte's Best
Clothing Store.
It is really surprising to
see men delight in our
showing of fine clothes;
we take it as a matter of
course that such a show
ing is an essential part
of a high grade clothing
business; but the men of
this city and county look
upon our display as an
innovation and we're glad
they do.
We've endeavored to
provide all t6 favored
fabrics all the sensible
styles for you, avoiding
any garment that might
be classed as "Bizarre"
or over-extreme, inas
much as the unconven
tional styles that we have
seen lack permanence of
style values.
Our selections are from
the foremost makers of
strictly high grade cloth
ing and vh6se styles
possess a definite and
positive style value un
questioned and unques
tionable. See Our
Show Window.
