FROM MANUFACTURER .TO CONSUMER DIRECT WITHOUT AMY INTERMEDIATE PROFIT- /\i fctt The ainiouiiceiuunfc iniule by us one week ago , created , as we sup posed it would , and intended it should , a profound sensation in business and social circles. lleali/ing the unusual eilbrt that we had put forth to bring within the reach of the people ot Nebras ka the best values that they had ever known , we anticipated a corresponding return , for never before in their establishment has there been so much labor as was put into the two weeks previous to and in preparation for this -sale. We never hiul any doubt the re sult. We knew it would be a GREAT SUCCESS and would be the largeat and most important sale of dry goods that we had ever attempted and car ried through. But we are free to confess that our most sanguine expectations have been literally dwarfed into insignificance by the stupenduous results and almost inciedible figuie which our busi ness for the past week has real- i/.ed. We venture to assert that no house west or the great cities has ever , under the most favora ble circumstances , sold the amount of goods at retail that ' \ vm > purchased at our establishment - ment last week. For the second week , begin ning Monday , wo propose to con tinue the excitement , and we of fer for your perusal a list of bar- \ gams in all departments , which no house in this country can match or approach.
