Which kind are yon going to buy? A good shoe may cost a trifle more than tho cheap, no account shoe, built to please the eye aud catch the careless buyer, but is it economy to buy the inferior quality shoe? If you aro going to buy a heavy, every day, good to wear shoe, easy ou our feet, and as near water proof as leather Is mado, buy the United Workiugmen Oro Kip Shoes. These shoes are made plain too or tip, with or without outside counter, medium or high cut i ' ' A SHOE with a reputation is the Walk-Over. Think of it, 1,058,000 pairs of shoes were made by them in their own factories daring tho year ending November 25, 1001. Yon want comfort aud economy, you want a shoe that will wear aud keep its shatie, sightly, and dressy, buy a Walk-Over Shoo, YOU don't know what to buy for that boy. It was the same with us. We solved tho question. Without any hesita tion we can recommend the Good For Bad Boys Shoes, . and assure you there is no shoe on the market that will . give the wear and dnrability, comfort and ease Good For Bad Boys shoes will do. Tho old adage ''The proof of the pudding is tho eating thereof" will apply to Good For Bad Boys shoes aud all wo ask is try a pair with tho asauranoe that these shoes will prove the best iuvestment yon have made for boy shoes. , CHEWAUCAN MARSH FIRE Property Loss Will Run into Thousands ot Dollars.
