New York City Bottled and Distributed by COCA COLA BOTTLING CO. Phone Webster 406 Omaha, Nabi The Great Movement Burgess-Mask Started a . s Growing And is steadily sweeping over the entire city. There is no let up here we are determined that our purpose shall be accom plished. We felt the mighty spirit which is moving the nation, and now business and industry throb with it. The People Appreciate Our Move They have done well by us and they know that we deal only in trustworthy goods they have found that the merchandise was well chosen, justly priced and that we can always be depended upon. . i We wished to help the people f&o had helped us, and started this great move ment in LOWERING THE PRICES OF MERCHANDISE. The people have been very patient through these trying times, and welcomed our announcements last Sunday that Our Entire- Stock off Merchandise Would Be Offered at 2W A Reduction off No merchandise in our entire store is exempt from the reductions except in the matter of a few reservations of little consquence, where an honorable understanding had to be observed. We are gratified to note that this great move of ours encouraged merchants .all over the city to sacrifice their profits and to accept losses as we willingly are doing to further the move. To still further this great move there must be no shackles on productions; no stinted labor and no idle hours. There must be a concentrated effort on the part of producers and merchants to make way for greater progress. Never have we had finer or larger stocks and never have we been so strongly equipped from every point of view as we are today to con duct such an operation which is wholly for the benefit of the public. - Practically every source of supply throughout the world is represented in some way in this extensive plan of ours. Through the force of this store's resources, only merchandise of the highest char acter is found always marked at bottom prices. There is nothing lacking in merchan dise assortments, for besides our own vast stocks, we are in a position to obtain enormous supplies from sources that value our outlet for their products. We feel thatwe have done our duty to the public by starting this great move,, and, for one, we are conscientiously, publicly and privately pledged to elevate in every way the levels of business doings in which we are engaged. i 2? ft
