Play the Right Angle.
We're doing more to protect you
from the burdens of the high cost of
living than any other firm in our line
in the state of Nebraska. That's the
way we feel and think here at Flynn's.
We carry the most dependable quail.
ties made in America and we average
down to price that makes the fel-
lows with inferior qualities hump to
meet. Just now we are offering some
wonderful values in ladies', misses
and children's ready-to-wear gar
ments, boys suits and small-wear
hosiery for the family.
The man who buys suit without
first seeing this H, S. & NJ. line will
be playing the fifty-hfty game from
the wrong angle. And we will be the
other victim Of his thoughtlessness.

beautiful range in all wool, priced
from $3.50 TO $500. Let US show
you. John Flynn & Co.
