In accordance with the progressive methods characteristic of "THE
NEBRASKA' and to make it the best arranged and most modern Clothing
Store in the west, we have decided upon extensive alterations, commencing
with our first floor and show windows, and including every floor of our build
ing. The contract has been awarded and work has already begun. But in or
der to give the workmen sufficient room, we must reduce the stocks of every
dept., to the lowest point possible. To do so we have made the greatest reduc
tions ever announced on merchandise of such superior quality. We have
not considered former prices, profits, nor even costs. But have made reduc
tions so ununual that we know they will bring us the needed room at once.
