SOME GOOD POINTERS ON
1 SOME VERY GOOD SHOES
Probably you are familiar with the shoe standard of this
store. Perhaps you already know we have no room in
our stock for any shoe that does not come up to our idea
of a good shoe. We are veritable cranks on the ques
tion of quality in shoes and so far as possible we try to
pfotect our patrons by excluding all shoes which look
dubious or doubtful.
This fall's showing surpasses all previous display in
the essential points of style lines and superior con
struction. Not a shoe on sale at this ' store which we
cannot commend to our customers. We hold ourselves
personally responsible for the worth and wear of our
shoes.
SCHOOL SHOES
we would call your attention to our complete line of
SCHOOL SHOES. If there is one thing that the careful
mother wants it is good shoes for the boys and girls.
One trial order will convince.

continue any length of time, many retail
merchants now doing business on a credit
