HOW TO USE IT!
In OUR NEW SELF SERVICE SHOE DEPART
MENT, just in the rear of the new KIDDIES' DEPART
MENT, we have opened a spacious room where you serve
yourself by selecting the shoes you want from the shelves
where they are displayed uncovered, the sizes, width and
. prices being marked plainly on them and a deduction
made on each pair for the saving of clerks' service. After
you have made your selection and tried them on yourself
(if you wish to) you bring them to the wrapping counter
where they will be wrapped and change made for you.
Now, haven't you often thought that you would like
to buy your shoes without bothering with a clerk? Here's
your chance and you save the clerk hire, too, as all prices
are made with the cost of the clerk taken off and in this
department NO SELLING OR FITTING WILL BE GIV
EN WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE.
The Self Service Shoe Department
will be our underpriced department and in it will be found
alllrinds of SHOES for EVERYBODY, from old age to
baby and all displayed so you can see them the sizes, the
prices, etc., and you can look around all you wish with no
one to bother you and you will not feel like you Were tak
ing' anyone's time and that YOU ARE PERFECTLY
WELCOME. The policy of our Big Main Store will be"
the same, Highest Quality goods for the least possible
price and the vsy best service, for cash. Also all the lat-'
est and best styles.
On TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND we will have a
GRAND OPENING RECEPTION from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.
However, no goods will be sold after 6 p. m., but we will
be glad to meet friends both old and new and show you
over our FINE STORE from the office in the balcony to
the stock room basement.
WE ARE PROUD OF OUR STORES
And expect a pleasant day and evening.' We will have
music in the evening and serve refreshments - and each
caller will be presented with a souvenir.
