HAS NOVEL EXPERIENCE
Prom Tuesday's Dallv.
Two Plattsmouth ladies are "off"
of any more of the alluring bargain
advertisements of the Omaha depart
ment stores as the result of their ex
purience there yesterday. They Lad
been attracted by the unusual offer
ing of the winter ready to wear suits
for ladies which were offered at very
low prices and accordingly they made
their way bright and early to the
metropolis to be in on the big bar
gains but on their arrival found that
several hundred other ladies had
done likewise and from the time the
doors of the store opened there was
something stirring. The Platts
mouth ladies were caught in the cen
ter of the onrushing bargain seekers
and pushed and shoved from one side
to another and when they reached a
point of vantage where they might
lay their hands on one of the suits
were soon shoved aside by wiue more
Amazonian bargain hunters and as a
result all they got of the sale was
the experience in the line of foot ball
tactics employed by the seekers of
the cheap priced suits. They have
agreed that never again will they
get into a similar mix up.
