We are beginning to get shoes at reduced prices, while the pres-
ent quotations show but little reduction, the downward trend will
i
in a short time become quite noticeable. -"

We have not bought a single pair of shoes at the peak of the mar
ket and are in a position to give our customers the best values we
have ever given them considering the present market prices. Oct
lines are going to be shorter this season than usual as we are buy
ing on a down market and are buying only for our immediate
needs, and this is our advice to our customers to buy only what you
can use as we will sell shoes cheaper in the spring. We have been
favored with the largest shoe business ever given any shoe store
since Salem was incorporated as a city and we are glad to pass out
the above good news to our friends and patrons.
