"A Shoe Store for Shoes"
. 3
Is the dictum of the experienced. It is a matter of 3
history that the department store which try 5
to sell shoes of the grades we sell do not make a
success of it. The reason is that a shoe "depart- ;3
uicir." is fundamentally lacking in the element of ;3
Skrvick that must go with the sale of fine shoes
to make them really worth the price asked. 3
