GREEN TRADING STAMPS EVERY TIME
GREAT ANNUAL'. STOCK REDUCING SALES BEGIN TUESDAY MORNING
Seldom has Omaha's "Biggest of Big Stores" put forth a greater or a more united effort toward the reduction of its mammoth stocks. All mid-winter
merchandise, odds and ends of holiday good3 and brokan lines must be closed out. Heads of departments have been instructed to use the price-chopper unspar
ingly., Every bargain offered is real-values mentioned are not inflated, but are strictly genuine. When we say "half price" we honestly mean half price. The
turning of stnctly new, up-to-date, dependable merchandise into the almighty dollar must be attained that our buyers may know just where they are at, before
their semi-annual descent upon eastern markets for spring buying.
Road this ad carefully It's especially writton for the quality-bargain lover.
