Prlneville, Or., Dec. 17. Two hundred

and returned to their homes In Grant,

summoned together by Supervisor A. S.
Ireland; head of the Deschutes national

The nine graaing districts represented

Superintendent Daggett of tho garbage

There Is certain delicacy which may be expressed in shoemaking, without sacrifice of comfort nor
compromise with style. It is the quality which attracts without irritating which pleases-without the aid
of burlesque. You will always find CRAWFORD SHOES enough "different" to instantly engage your at
tention; it's sobecause we persistently study ,to make it so. "CRAWFORD" wearers expect more
originality than is incorporated in ordinary shoe styles. We proudly recognize the extra -demand and
carefully plan to meetit. While courteously inviting your patronage, we back the invitation up with
shoe values so strong that in justice to your common sense you cannot resist, accepting it; coercion in
a sense but the only form of coercion that is tolerated in the "CRAWFORD" organization.
This season we show the longest range of different shapes and patterns In Shoes for men
and women that has ever been attempted? any one firm since the dawn of civilization. No
matter how exacting you may be in your shoe requirements.' rest assured there is a "CRAW
FORD" to thoroughly captivate your fancy.
CRAWFORD SHOES are made in all of the best leathers by the most expert shoemaking
organization in the world. While "CRAWFORDS" always lead the fashion processionthey
never disregard a single detail to insure perfect foot comfort. See the shoes they tell the
'whole story. ''-"' : '
