The tendency of shoe prices is to advance
sharply partly from necessity; more from the
grasping notion of shoe sellers.
Gimbels standi out as the store of fine styles
and fair prices.
To be sure, women are paying more for
shoes because, with recent and prevailing styles
of appareling, the shoe is a more important factor;
has to be more beautiful and of necessity more
expensively gotten up. But best values af Gimbels.

So large has grown the Gimbel Shoe busi
ness that we can readily market any number of
thousands of pairs obtainable though shoes

at all and our leading lines are all of our own
designing.

Seventeen thousand and forty-five pairs are perfect; 1350 pairs of the women's and 300 pairs of the
men5, have little scratches or flaws that caught the eye of the inspectors. These are marked "rejects"
but m material harm is done the wearing quality, and hence we sell them at the same price as the rest.
18,695 pairs formed the total purchase half offered in our New York store; 9,400 pairs for Philadelphia.
