Choa/j at.G.OO. ) ? Timely Suggestions AND RULES OF THE SALE. As the rush for these goods will bo entirely without prece dent , we would consider it a persona sona/ / favor if all who can make it convenient lo do so , will come between 8 and 10 o'clock a. in. , so to divide , as far as possible , the business through the day. This suggestion is of the utmost im portance. Please heed it , all who can. can.Wo have engaged a large extra force of salesmen and have made every provision human fore thought can suggest , but ask , in advance , public indulgence for any annoyances that may arise. Wo have instituted and carried through successfully a great many largo and important sales , but have never attempted anything of gigantic proportions , or one which is fraught with so many benefits to the public. The following are a few rules which wo found necessary to adopt during the sale , and wo think it best to mention them as thov are directly contrary to our usual custom. Iteinember , however , that they will only hold during the sale , and are only adopted in the in terests of the public to facilitate business. First Ho careful in making your purchases as no exchanges will be allowed. Second No allowance will bo made on any kind of goods. No Samples will bo cut over the counter , wo should , of course , be most happy to send them by mail when requested , but to secure goods our patrons at a distance ought to have some resident in Omaha to make a selection orivly on us to do so. As our shipping department will be tried to its utmost capa city , and although we shall make every effort to deliver on time , we would respectfully request that customers will take small parcels themselves.
