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 force of salesmen and have made every provision human fore- thought can_suggest, but ask, in advance, public indulgence for any annoyances that may arise, Ve 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 busin, First—Be careful in making your l)lllt'llilfi'l‘fi as no EXL’hl\""Cfl will be allowed, g Second—No allowance will be made onany 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 f»;xtruus at a distance ought to have some resident in Omaha to make a selection or rely on us to do so. As our shipping department will be tried to its utmost capa~ city, and although we shall make cver{ effort to deliver on time, we would respectfully request that customers will take small parcels themselves, S P Mo & Co.
