STYLISH AND SEASONABLE SHOES THAT FIT AND WEAR:- -"
We prefer that our Shoe Department shall be known for the excellence
of its offerings rather than for the space it occupies. There is nothing
".cheaper" than a. "cheap" shoe; nothing more annoying than an ill-fitting
shoe, and few things arc less economical, than a " bargain ' shoe. None of
these in this department not an- old or undesirable shape, nor a questionable
quality. Shoes of equal grade cannot be made to sell at less than our regu
lar prices; and on some of our famous "specials,' thero is a clear saving of
from 50c to $1.00 a pair, as compared with most other makes in similar
grades.
We advise buying in the morning hours, when that is convenient; for often times the after
noon throngs tax even our liberal capacity to handle as comfortably as we might wish. It takes
time to fit shoes properly and we want to provide plenty of it for the proper 'serving of every
one of our rapidly growing army of patrons, today.

bodice girdles are all new features that yon will like.
The whole effect of the salons is Spring-like. Given over to
