VOLUME XXXVI. O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1916. NUMBER 36. I iir Mi i r Copyright Hart Schaffner Si Mon Washington’s Birthday February 22nd George Washington, the father of his country and first president of the United States, was one of the greatest patriots in American history, and his memory is honored and revered by every lover of liberty. The welfare of the peqgrie of this country was his first thought and he served them and served well. While we are not serving the people in the same capacity that Washing ton did we are serving them and trying to serve them well. We are pioneers in the ready-to-wear clothing line and have given you the finest values for your money that has ever been offered to the people of this section of the state, and the latest in style and fabrics. This has been possible because we have handled the clothes made by the old reliable firm of Hart Schaffner & Marx One of the best known and most reliable clothing manufacturers, not only in America, but in the world. When we began handling this popular line of clothing ready made clothes were not very well thought of by well dressed men, and generally speaking they didn’t deserve to be. We began talking quality and good style and handl ing nothing but what possessed these requisites. We told you that we were selling the sort of clothes that a gentleman could wear, that in materials, the tailoring, the fashions, he could be confident of being right, of getting value for his money and satisfaction. The all wool standard has been rigidly maintained in our goods. Men j don’t “lcok down” on ready-made clothes as they once did, the large majority i of men to-day wear ready-made clothes because they want to wear them and they are among the best dressed men in the country. We can fit you in style and quality and respectfully ask that ycu look our stock over, knowing full ) well that we can please you as we do hundreds of others who are now regular patrons of our clothing department, and they are the best dressed men 1 in this section. ! We can also equip you with some of the finest and best shoes on the mar ! ket; with the latest in colors and lasts. Our shoe department is one of the j | strong departments of our store and we are sure that we can satisfy you in ; price and quality if you give us the opportunity. Give us the chance to sell you your next pair of shoes. We can give you comfort and satis faction. I We are preparing this spring a pleasant surprise for the ladies. Upon our return from the World’s Style Shows we expect to have the finest and largest line of ladies garments ever brought to the state outside the city of Omaha, and they will be all of the latest style, both in cloth, weaves and trimmings. We have spread ourselves on this line and expect to bring pleasure and happiness || to our lady customers, when they see the beautiful line we have selceted for them. P. J. McMANUS, O’Neill, Neb.
