Chicago and Now York for tho purpose
of purchasing spring garments and fur
nishings for tho storo that Is regarded
by many as tho fashion headquarters
for western Nebraska. Tho past year
was by far tho most successful ono Mr.
Block has had In North Platte; not only
wero tho number of customers greater
but tho quality of the goods purchased
was better thoro was a noticeable de
crease In tho calls for tho cheaper
grades. Believing that this demand for
quality will ho oven greater next yonr,
Mr. Block on his enstorn trip will buy
heavily, and with tli view of present
ing to the ladles tho smartost garments
thnt has over beon displayed In North
Platte.
Preparatory to lonvlng for the east,
Mr Block has Inaugurated a clean
swccp salo by moans of which ho hopes,
by offering goods at loss than cost
prices, to closo out whatever remains
of the fall and wlntor stock. As tho
wlntor season has only fairly started,
this clean-sweep wale offers an unusual
opportunity for ladles to secure bar
gains In coats, suits and furs and got

closo out tho wlntor stock, It Is clean
