Late in January, after the manufacturers had
made their requisition fur spring fabrics, the mills
had, as they always do, a number of small pieces and
odd lengths which thev had to sell. One of the lead-
y-s a
ing weavers of the U. S. submitted swatches of these ends to the
representative of this store, who was in the East late in January
buying for next Fall. Prices quoted were but trifling fractions
of the real values. There was a total of 3947 vds., enough for
82 suits. Some patterns contained only enough for three suits,
some as many as 47 and so on. Coming as it did, between
seasons. Spring Clothes having been made and Fall Clothes not
started, we found tailoring establishments anxious to make
these- fabrics up without thought of profit, solely to keep their
men busv. The deal was closed cn January Sth, and now we
a
can follow our established custom of sharing with our customers
every advantage of our buying power and c tier strictly bench
tailored Suits of high character at the lowest price ever quoted.

Why lnJe Made
Such Effort
Aa ia well known, this store sells an extraordinary
number of suits from $15.C0 upwards. We frankly
admit some stores sell more suits for less than $13.00.
This is not as it should be never was a store more en
titled to the bulk of this- particular business. For
some reason we've been unable to attract enough, to
justify our efforts. Some who want to spend less than
$15.00 note the attractiveness of this store and perhaps -imagine,
though incorrectly, that we do not care for
their trade. Some imagine that our modern "arrange
ment precludes, their trading here when in reality it.
should be the very place to come. Then, again, many
" men know the great number of higher priced suits we
sell and imagine we cater entirely to such, trade
another wrong surmise. We don't ask for all tha pop
ular priced trade we ask only for what our efforts en
title us to. It amounts to more than we get. That is
honest truth. We want to attract the attention of more
fellows with, less than S15.C0 to spend and make them
interested in a store that will serve them better than
they ever were served. Hence we've plotted for three
months to do what is now scheduled for Saturday and
Monday.

and see the SUITS.
Look at them several times the oftener you see
them the more determined you'll be to have one. Come
in and see them at close range examine them critically,
subject them to every test you know. Then, if you want
one, all right. If you don't no harm done. We'll still
be glad you came to look.

Where ia the woman who has so often said: "No U3e talking, you simply MUST
pay from $3.50 upwards far good shoes these days!" Now, this woman means welL
but she DOESN'T know of the Shoe Maxist "Basement."
Thi3 is an age of inconsistencies. Even while the words "high ccst of living,"
are on everybody's tongue, we are reaching bed rock with captivating, sturdily built,
'snappily styled shoes at prices as popular as $1.35 and $2.45 per nair. Surely
THAT'S reasonable, isn't it?
It goe3 without saying that these are UP-TO-THS-LILD U TE shoes otherwise we
couldn't CEOWD that basement as we ASS doing. "Low Cuts" are the theme now
we've the style YQU'VS been wonting right alcrg.

TVe sell all furniture, carpets and household goods at
an average of 20 below the prices charged in Omaha
because our rent is so low our location is in South
Omaha we do business on a moHt economical basis.
When it comes to refrigerators we not only sell lower by
several dollars on each box, but we carry the very finest
line shown in this section.
S4.75 to $39 for refrigerators

What one woman told us:
One womnn voluntarily told us that her bill for j
ice was from 25c to 40c per day. She read our adver-1
tisement, bought one of our refrigerators and has never
since spent more than 10c or 15c per day for ice. Dur
ing the summer that would make a saving of from $12
to $25 just on the ice bill enough saved to purchase u
very fine refrigerator. Worth investigating isn't it!
