\JLfE desire to thank the thousands of customers who by their constant
** patronage have helped to make 1922 a splendid year for us and the
holiday season the greatest in our history. To each and every one we
extend our wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year. The store is
closed all day today. Then come the great activities of 1923, the first
big event of the year being the January White Sale.
This sale has always been memorable for the attractiveness of the val
ues offered and the unprecedented preparations which have been made
by the Burgess-Nash Company for several months past insures a Jan
uary Sale that will delight every woman in Omaha and the vicinity.
The savings are great, the values bigger and better, in fact we feel that
we can honestly say <(This is the greatest sale of them all."
SALE starts Tuesday, 9 a. m. These
prices will prevail only during this
sale or as long as the quantity lasts.
Vfe STORE**
/^WING to the low prices, we cannot
^ guarantee that the quantities will
last, and therefore will be unable to sell
to jobbers.
JT is well worth every woman’s time to shop here—it is almost like
* opening a new store. The various departments that have entered
the sale are full of fresh, new merchandise which carry prices as incom
parably low as the qualities are high, for the finest equipment and the
highest type of service are of no value to our patrons unless backed up
by merchandise of worth, rightly priced and fully guaranteed.
Many a linen closet will be filled again during the coming month.
Many a wardrobe will be replenished from the stocks to be placed on
sale. People will recognize the significance of the prices given on this
page and will not only look after their immediate needs but those of
next year and the year after, for prices such as these are seldom found.
