CIIT PRICE WAR SWAMPS |
BIG STORES IN OMAHA
CITY in a Frenzy as Reductions
Extending to so Per Cent
Are Made.

Omoha, May lS.--The greatest orgy
of buying that Omaha has ever expert
enced was staged all of yesterday when the
big department stores, IN war among
themselves, started cutting prices. At
the close of business last night some oil the
stores were cutting as much as so per
cent and practically all of the larger ones
in the city were involved.
The public fears that the store mana
gers will get together later and put n
stop to the slashing of prices and for
that reason thousands took advantage
of the battle to buy to the limit.
The fight began in the morning, when
three of the large stores began selling
Mt 20 per cent discount. This cut included
everything in stock except patented
articles upon which the manufacturers
had set the prices. These three stores
stole n march ON the others with page adj
vertisements in the Sunday papers nm
nouncing the cut.
Sunday afternoon the biggest depart
mcnt store In the city, which was not
among the three that started the war,
filled it's show windows with large signs
announcing cut ol 30 per cent on every
thing, regardless Of conditions.
When business opened the stores were
crowded dcnsclv. Show eases were broken,
counters overturned and the police were
called in several eases 10 maintain order.
Bv noon one Of the 20 per cent stores
had cut TO 30 per cent. Another had gone
to - per cent.
The second largest department store
in the city did no cutting; at II o clock
there were but sixteen customers III ten
departments by actual count in that
store
The afternoon newspapers were filed
with announcements oi further price
cutting.
The biggest drops made were on wom-
ems coats and furs, which a re being
