Suffering Simply Indescribable
Had to Scratch Till Blood Ran
Health Undermined from Lack of
Sleep Gave Up Hope but
CUTICURA FREED HIM
FROM SKIN-TORMENT
" About aeven Tears ago a small abra
sion appeared on my right leg just above
my ankia. it irritated
me so that I began to
cratch it and it began
to spread until my leg
from my ankle to the
knee was one solid
scale like a scab. Tha
irritation was always
worse at' night and
would not allow me
to sleep, or my wife
either, and it was
completely under
mining our health. I
lost fifty pounds in weight and was
almost out of my min4 with pain and
chagrin as no matter where the irrita
tion came, at work, on the street or
In the presence) of company, I would
have to aeratoli it until 1 had the blood
running down into my shoe. I simply
cannot describe my suffering during
those taven yeart. The pain, mortifi
cation, loas of sleep, both to myself and
wife is simply indescribable on paper
and one haa to experience it to know
what it is.
I tried all kinds of doctor and
remedies but I might aa well have
thrown my money down a sewer. They
would dry it up for a little while and (ill
me with hope only to break out again
just as bad if not worse. I had given
up hope of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to rive the Cuticura
Remedies a trial. After taking the
Cuticura Remediae for a little while I
fcnn to see a change and after taking
frioren bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,
in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, tho trt.uble had
entirely disappeared and my leg was as
fine aV the day I was born. Now after
lapse of six months with no sign of a
recurrence I feel perfectly safe in ex
tending to vou mv heartfelt thanks for
the good the Cuticura Itemediee have
done for me. I shall always recom
mend them to mv friends. V. H.

For years the clothing; business has been "trad

which could be more fittingly described as "high
priced."
High class clothing need not be high priced. It
can be sold for its intrinsic worth, but it requires
different methods than the ordinary clothing store
possesses.
When you pay more than intrinsic value for
"celebrated brands" you are paying a certain pro
portion of the expense of extravagant methods plus
extravagant advertising, which expense is a certain
tax levy that can produce absolutely nothing above
intrinsic value for vou.
This store is not a selling agent for any brand of
clothes. We are under no obligations to any maker.
We buy fabrics and place tailoring orders on a strict
value basis, and sell them at the lowest possible
margain.
Selling the highest class of clothes possible to
produce at prices based entirely on their intrinsic
value has enabled this store to do in its first year the
largest clothing business ever transacted by an
Omaha store.
We invite you to look at windows Nob. 5, 6, 7. 8, 9, 10 and
11, whore are displayed a email percentage of the garments
and fabrics upon which we base our hope of an Increased
business for next year.
We want you to come In and try on as many of the new
things as you wish, even though you don't care to buy. We
have a wonderful store here and a magnificent stock. We have
polite, painstaking sales persons to attend you. Come right in.
