Biggest Bunch of
You, no doubt, realize that in a store as large as this, where there are
fifty-five large departments striving to outdo every previous July sales record,
there must be so many timely bargains that It Is impossible to enumerate
them In any single advertisement no matter how large. So, in order that each
shall have an equal chance we Invite you to make a tour of the entire store
Saturday In search of things you want and need now marked at special prices.
-
There is much significance in the words
"Extra Special" or "Special Value" when
used by this store in its advertisements.
and, In view of the many sales now In progress In Omaha, we feel that we
should say a word about them. Fix firmly In your mind that when you see
the words "Special" or "Special Value" In the Bennett Store's advertisements
you may depend on the prices being far below those quoted elsewhere for
the same quality. Our prices are and must always be the lowest for the
quality. It is our determination that ttwe shall be no deviation from this
rule. Every department manager In the store knows this well and main
tains the standard to the letter. WITHOUT QUALITY PRiICB MEANS
NOTHING. Remember that when on shopping bent.
