PRICES TELL THE STORY
AT THE LEADER.
The reason the big Sale at the Leader is
growing so popular with people is because the
prices tell the story of the greatest bargain
giving sale ever held in North Platte. The sale
has been a wonderfully satisfactory one from the
viewpoint of the buyer; one out-of-town lady
remarked Saturday that she was sorry the sale
would not last throughout the year, because she
was getting goods so much cheaper than before.
But this sale can not last always. When the
stock is reduced to the point where Mr. Pizer is
satisfied to make the contemplate change, the sale
will close and with it the period of sacrificing
prices. It is therefore best that you take advan
tage of the sale as early as possible.
The goods are here, the prices cannot be met by
any competitior why not come to this store and share with
others the bargains that have made the sale the talk of the
city and county.
