Tlicso comfortnlilo and serviceable slwes can
be had In Congress, llalmoral mid Mutton. The
stock from which they nre made wo miiinintee
to be the best In nil respects. They are well
made. In the latest styles, and will outwear any
(3.00 or $3.00 shoes In the market.
Bear In mind, these shoes tire made specially
tor us, and tho prlco Is made lv ui.
Wo sell no shoes at trade prices, in that would
not be selling cheaper than others. Anybody
can sell $3.00 shoes for 53.00; 81.00 shoes lor $4.00;
mid so on. Tho highest priced shires In the
country get no mora for them and nto well satis
fled with the large profits. There Is nothing
cheap In that kind of business.
We buy our goods as low as possible for cash.
upon which we figure r very small profits this Is
the key to cheapness'.
