Extraordinary Attraction in a Washington-St. Display Window of the Store! The Footwear of All Nations ! Exposition of 21 Shoes From Foreign Lands Valued at Thousands of Dollars! Side by Side With the World's Best and Newest Footwear, made by American Shoemakers, and Worn by the Smartest Dressers of Both Hemispheres ! - t - i The Chief of the Store's Shoe Section has arranged another unordinary attraction, sure to arouse the attention of thousands to his lines the coming week. Thru the cour tesy of a large Eastern manufacturer who has loaned us his valuable collection of foreign-made footwear, we are enabled to place the same on exhibition in one of the large Washington-street windows of the Store. We invite the general public to inspect this unique and interesting exhibit; it's worth coming miles to see. Lack of space for bids the detailed delineation on this page which this truly educational display is worthy of. It's an exhibition that no man, woman or-child should miss of peculiar interest to schoolteachers and their pupils. Touching along the different shoes that make up this strange group of foreigners, the eye lights on an East Indian Shoe Valued Alone at $1500.00 This shoe is a low-cut of peculiar appearance, once worn by an East Indian Prince, who was a private attendant upon the late Queen Victoria of England, mother of the reigning King Edward. " Next we note the boots worn by the Hungarian peasant children rough, tough cow hide affairs, that savor of the military styles affected by the Japs. The wooden sandals of the Swiss mountain-climbers, with their bottoms of heavy spikes and skate-strap fastenings, are among the most curious of all the exhibits. The woven manilla alzargates (sandals) worn by the natives of Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Republic, will attract thousands of curious eyes this week, as will also the Turkish sandals made of native skins and fancifully worked with Turkish grasses. The house sandal of Rio de Janeiro and the old English army shoes, with the Japan ese military boot the latter hand-made by the expert and industrious "little brown men," are objects of much interest. The military shoes worn by the armies of Switzerland, and the Japanese low-cut shoes worn only by the nabobs of Japan, will deserve and receive interest from all beholders. . And here's a shoe worn in the foundries of our own great and. glorious America! Wonder how many of our Oregon folk ever saw these great, awkward-looking brogans in black and red cowhide, with their slugged soles of steel nails? The Holland military shoes interest in comparison with those of our own and other countries. A curious creation indeed is the Arabian sandal made entirely of grass. The boot worn by the wealthy Hollander attracts much attention. But the nearest approach to the smart," neat, comfortable and durable footwear for which the American shoemaker is so justly famous is the neat, trim, handsome tan shoe made by the Japanese. One might almost suspicion it to be a product of Lynn, Mass.. experts, so closely does it resemble the peerless American product. It's a marvelous exhibit don't miss seeing it. It's here for a few days only.
