THE HOME OF QUALITY CLOTHES GREATEST JANUARY C ARANC SALE H LE EVER HELD IN OMAHA, STARTS SATURDAY, JANUARY 9 AH Broken Lots of Men's, Young Men's and Children's Suits land Overcoats at ONE-HALF Our REGULAR LO W PRICES A WORD OF EXPLANATION: This store was organized with a definite obecl in view; it was to give Omaha a clothing store as good as the city, and to raise clothes-selling to a higher level. We made an estimate of the amount of business we might reasonably expect to do by dignified business methods. We steadfastly refused to make use of the various sub terfuges for "Special Sales". Our sales ftave doubled the amount of our estimate, and at all firms our regular low prices were In competition with the regular weekly "Special Sales" of various stores. Pretty good proof that our merchandise and prices are unmatchable. Everything being new contributed somewhat, and It Is because we intend to start next fall with a stock as new and clean as this year's stock, we now offer every small or broken lot at exactly one-halt owr regular prices. None of the customary price mark manipulations here no special tickets with no red Ink marking to even up the loss. You simply select the garment you want and pay us one half our regular price. . 7 " See Windows 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 Contain a mammoth display of worth-while clothes at once-in-a-lifetime savings, and tell a bargain story without a parallel in Omaha clothing history.
