The Second Week of the Mammoth Half Million Dollar
ance Begins With More Selling Records Being Shattered
We ushered in the second week of the closing out of the Bennett Half -Million
to accomplish our purpose. When the sale is over, there will not be an item
Dollar Stock with even greater bargains than those that characterized the first
week of the sale and which created the greatest crowds Omaha ever knew.
People came from hundreds of miles around, attracted by the wonderful of
ferings of our advertisements, and many was the expression: "We don't see
how such bargains can be possible." "
But they are possible, and they are here--waiting for you. No like condi
tion ever confronted another store in America and it is taking heroic measures
from the old Bennett stock in the store. The prices we are quoting will move
them all out. There are BARGAINS for every need and fancy of wardrobe and
home-bargains that mean dollars and dollars saved to you.- -
Consider that the specials in this advertisement are only specimens of
what you will find in every department of the store. It would be impossible
to list all of them in a single advertisement, no matter how large. Every item
is a bargain. Shop in the morning if possible, ..

Before we purchased the old Bennett Company's stocks we thoroughly investigated the origin of every line in the store-simply to satisfy our own minds that they would withstand the
most rigid tests for quality. The muslin underwear stock was one that received our most particular attention, because a woman's undergarments are a very important part of her wardrobe
and have a great deal -to.io with her personal comfort and the fit of her. outer garments. We found that each and every line was from a maker reputed for the quality of some par
ticular kind-we found that all-were made from materials that were superior to those usually found in 'lines selling at the same prices; we found that all of the materials were pure grass
bleached as the Bennett Company-would not allow any chemically bleached garments in their store; we found that they were accurately cut ana proportioned ana uneiy nnisnea in
every detail; we found that the laces and embroideries used In the trimming schemes corresponded in quality with the main material of the garments they adorned-that's the kind of
- a stock that you buy from in this closing out sale; a stock that was not purchased for a bargain event, but for a steady year 'round trade.
Every Item in the Entire Muslin Underwear Section is Reduced in Price.These Five
;. Specimen Bargains Only Serve to Show How Great the Reductions Really are.

The Burlington's erop report for .the

optimistic than that of tha previous week.
The report covers tha lines In Nebraska

Smith Finds Lumber
Prices Advanced
Purchasing Agent Smith of the Union
Pacific Is back -from Tacoma, Wash..
wher he went for the purpose of figuring
on the company stock of lumber for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, providing he
found tha market right However, in
stead of placing a big order, Mr. - Smith
returned without having don any buying.
At the mills around Tacoma and- all
through Washington arid Oregon Mi.
hmitu found that there has "-been a,"-material
advance on lumber during the last
six months, due in a large measure to
Abnormal demand of material for silos.
The lumber of, which silos are made is
clear stuff and during the last six months
has advanced $11 per 1,000 feet. It now
sells at $40 per 1,000 feet. All other lum
ber has advanced, though not so much. .
.Relative to a report of a shortage of
cars for shipments east, Mr. Smith found',
that it is without" foundation. The cafr
that carry freight to the north coast
points are sufficient In number to handlg..
everything coming east, and there Is W
unusual demand now, though it will
greater a few weeks hence when
wheat begins to move.
