INSIGNIFICANGE AS COMPARID WITH THIS CIGANTIC ENTERPRISE. ANKOUNGEMENT The announcement made by one week ago, created, as wesup- posed it would, and intended it should, a profound sensation in business and social circles. zing the unusual effort that we had [fgt forth to bring within the reach of the*people of Nebras- ka the best values that they had ever known, we anticipated a corresponding return, for never before in their establishment has there been so much labor'as was put into the two weeks previous to and in preparation for this sale. ‘We neverthad any doubt the re- sult. e knew it would be a CREAT SUCGCESS and would be the largest and most unportant sale of dry goods that we had ever attempted and car- ried through. But we are free to confess that our most sanguine expectations have been literally dwarfed into insignificance by the stupenduous results and almost incredible figure which our busi- ness for the past week has real- ized. We venture to assert that no house west of the great cities has ever, under the most favora- ble circumstances, sold the amount of goods at retail that were purchased at our establish- ment: last week. Yor the second week, begin- ning Monday, we propose to con- tinue the excitement, and we of- fer for your peruszl a list of bar- gains in all departments, which no house in this country can match or approach.

As the rush for these goods will be entirely without prece- dent, we would consider it a per- sonal favor if all who can make it convenient to do so, will come between 8 and 10 o'clock a. m., so to divide, as far as possible, the business through the day. = This suggestion is of the utmost im- portance. Please heed it, all who can. We have engaged a large extra e of salesmen and have made. provision human fore- it can suggest, but ask, in ce, public indulgence for annoyances that may arise. e have instituted and carried through successtully a great many large and important sales, but have never attempted anything of gigantic proportions, or one which is fraught with so many benefits to the public, The following are a few rules which we found necessary to adopt during tho sale, and we think it best to mention them as - thev are directly contrary to.our usual custom. Remember, however, that they will only hold during the sale, and are only adopted in the in- terests of the public to facilitate business, First—Be careful in making your purchases as no exchanges will be allowed. Second—No allowanee will be made on any kind of goods. No Samples will be cut over the counter, we should, of course, be most happy to send them by mail when requested, but to secure goods our lp;\truus at a distance ought to have some resident in Omaha to make a selection or rely onAm to do so. As our shipping department will be tried to its uhu‘:st capa~ city, and although we shall make every effort todeliver on time, we would respectfully request that customers will take small parcels themselves. fo every § P.
