You are invited to our
irtMay Celebration
The birth-date of this splendid store was September 5th, 1908 but Friday evening,
September 3d, 1909, marks the closing of fifty-two weeks of most phenomenal busi
ness activity, and we want to start another year by meeting in our store every
person in Omaha, regardless of whether they wish to purchase or not. Come.
If you would know why we celebrate and how why we may
seem boastful, when we are only thankful read these lines:
Seventeen months ago plans for this store were announced and the business world stood aghast the country was in
an unsettled financial condition and 16th and Howard streets was not a proven location thousands of thoughtful men
shook their heads and called us audacious.
When our doors opened Sept. 5th, 1908, Omaha people were taken by surprise. Not until then did they realize
what we had labored night and day to prepare for them. The 35,000 people who visited us out of curiosity lingered out
of enchantment and most of them expressed appreciation of our efforts and accomplishments.
We realized, however, that the success of this store depended on what we did every day rather than what we did on
Opening Day, and for the past year every person connected with this establishment has labored zealously to fulfill the
promise then given to give Omaha a clothes store second to none in the country.
To that promise and to the thousands who placed their confidence in us wc owe our extraordinary success. We feel
grateful indeed.
On this, our first birthday celebration, we can promise even morehan a year ago, and, we'll be honest with you, we
expect more, for we expect to about double the past year's business because
As we then saw the opportunity to found a great store, and also saw the way b.y having our store the kind to attract
people; our store service the kind to protect people; our merchandise the kind to satisfy people, and our prices the
kind to benefit people we now see the way to extend our field of endeavor for
We hope to retain our present patronage intact and expect to augment it greatly by dealing as fairly as, and offering
even greater price inducements than, in the past, and in every way maintaining the inimitable store service that has already
gained for us the unfaltering loyalty of the largest following of careful clothes buyers ever enjoyed by an Omaha store.
We earnestly invite your patronage.
This Store Shows as Many New Fall Suits as Any 3 Omaha
Stores. A bold, Broad Statement but a Positive Fact
The fabric and the suit
Z In our windows we display many fabrics in conjunc
tion with the finished garment because we want you to
see what faultless clothes go into our garments. We pur
chase fabrics and have them tailored because we can thus
give to our customers a finer garment than would be pos
sibly by buying in the usual way from manufacturers who
would surely demand a middleman's profit. Doesn't it
stand to reason that we bought cheaper last January
when the mills submitted us samples than we could buy
nowt The raise in price since then and the maker's per
centage 6aved by us means a saving to you of 15 to
25&. We earnestly ask you to see ours before, deciding
the Fall chut question.

Extraordinary suit values
For- months we have planned to have
three lines of suits we could offer at this time
as something uncommon at common prices.
When we were selecting fabrics last January
we set aside a number for that particular pur
poseand today, at the three prices men
tioned, we can give you a selection of several
hundred suits that would positively cost 25
more in any other Mid-West Store. All the
fashionable soft fabrics, fancy worsteds and
plain serges beautifully hand-tailored, in
every desirable style. The values are truly
remarkable, at

That Delight
the Fancy

neglected that the average man
has formed the habit of going

This store makes its Furnish
ing Dept. stand on the merits of
its merchandise. We want ycu
to come here every time you
have a furnishing goods need,
but under no condition do we
want you to buy under protest

are sold Men's Clothing, Work
Clothes, Traveling Goods, etc.

economy the minute you learn
the way to our Basement store.
We Have the
Best Hats in Town
Beyond Question
Men wonder why they get bo
much more out of our hats than
usual. The answer is simplicity
itself the makers put so much
more in them.
We feel about our hats mncK
the same as about our clothing
they've got to look better, wear
longer and cost less than those
sold by our competitors at sim
ilar prices else we couldn't rea
sonably expect men to change
hatters.
The fellows who changed are
acknowledging their wisdom by
returning to be re-hatted
wouldn't it be a good idea for
you to try one of ours next timet
