THE REASON
After months of negotiations with our
new landlord, we were unable to -get a
renewal of our lease at a price that
would enable us to continue to sell
footwear at the same popular prices.
We have decided to CLOSE OUT
OUR ENTIRE STOCK, rather than
move it. We have marked prices so
low that we will have to move nothing
BUT OUR NAME
As soon as we know we will announce
our new location.
