SHOES
The Latest and Most
Exclusive Designs to
be Shown This Season
We have on display the largest Fuleotion of New
Styles to be shown by any shoe store in Salem this

In the Ladies' line the designers seem to be partial
to buttons. They have also favored them with a
great many catchy little changes which especially ap
peal to the ladies.
The Tans and Wine Leathers are to be the favorites
this season with cloth tops very much in evidence.
The Men's Line a total eclipse of our past success
in the men's department.
