In a shocking turn of events, Jacob Cohen’s Great Sale in Omaha, Nebraska, has raised suspicions of a massive heist. On November 20, 1909, Cohen’s store, a popular destination for women’s dresses, was flooded with customers eager to snag a deal. The sale, which offered dresses worth up to $15 for a mere $0.98, drew in scores of shoppers, including many who were drawn in by the promise of high-quality, fashionable dresses at unbeatable prices.
