ONLY ONE WEEK UNTIL
EASTER
While we have sold an unusually large nurhber of Ladies' Suits,
Dresses and Coats already this season, yet our assortment is getting
larger, as every day new arrivals are being received, and the satisfac
tory part to the ladies is that no two garments are alike. We feel
highly gratified with the compliments that have been paid our ev
ceptional goods and prices by the hundreds who have made purchas
es since our spring stock arrived.
The desire of The Leader has always been in the past and will
i
be in the future to conduct an establishment that has a reputation
for reliable and dependable merchandise at low prices, and we be
lieve that this end has been attained.
EASTER GLOVES
In all shades, all sizes, the Kayser
make, in all lengths, from 1 to 16
button, every pair guaranteed.

Our Show Windows
Depict better than wc can tell in words the won
derful showing The Leader is making in Ladies'
Apparel. In the displays that are being made,
you cannot help but conclude that this store is
the real headquarters for fashions in North Platte
that The Leader truly leads and others attempt
to follow. The show windows are only a reflec
tion of the wonderful stock we have.
Yours for Great Values,
Leader
