Our 20 Per Cent Off Sale
nds Wednesday, June 30th, at 6
p.
m,
Let everyone know that our Great Store Wide 20 per
Cent Otf Sale will come to an End Wed., June 30th
It was on Wednesday, May 27th, that an announcement was made
that stirred this entire section of the state. It was'the notice to
our friends and customers that 20 per cent would be deducted from
all our goods.
It inaugurated a sale so unusual, so broad, so tar reaching in its effects as to be
almost unbelieveable.
It has enabled the people of this section of Nebraska to buy thousand of dollars worth of
goods they needed at a saving of thousands of dollars to the people.
It was held for the sole and single purpose of raising money to take care of our financial
obligations and to lessen the money burden resting on us. Now that the situation has
been met and controlled we are about to go back to our normal business and to our nor
mal profits, always fair and moderate, but which we surrendered in this movement to
secure Ready Cash.
The Final Closing of this Sale
Ends Wednesday, June 30th, at 6 p. m.
We had intended to close sale today, but on account of bad weather last week it prevent
ed so many from coming, so we are giving them a chance.
You have until the night of the 30th the opportunity of saving 20
per cent to 3S per cent on all our purchases.
certainly would be a pity if everyone cannot supply their needs
at this saving.
