is Paralyzed! Prices For Shoes Are Tailing' Spectacular
the Facts Squarely and Listen to Reason. Follow Our
Be Money In Pocket. Read Every Word of This Story
Europe lifts stripped America of its leather. With not half
enough for ourselves the demand from across the water is for
MORE, MORE, MORE! You can appreciate how desperate the sit
uation is when we tell you that a foreign government recently laid
down FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN COLD CASH before one of
the biggest tanners in the United States and said: "GIVE US AS
MUCH SOLE LEATHER FOR THAT AS YOU CAN!" Mind you,
they didn't specify HOW MUCH they wanted for their money but
as MUCH AS IT WOULD GET FOR THEM ! And now they are
trying to DUPLICATE that order and CAN'T. The quantity is
SIMPLY NOT TO BE HAD.
In order to get even HALF enough leather for their OWN
needs, American shoe manufacturers have had to pay as HIGH a
price for leather to the leather manufacturers as THE NATIONS
OF EUROPE WERE WILLING TO PAY!
And you see what has happened.
The shoe manufacturer simply HAD to pass the increases in
price to the wholesaler; the wholesaler in turn passed it on to the
dealer, and the dealer passed it on to YOU the CONSUMER!
Take your ROY'S shoes for instance.
Two years ago you could buy a GOOD pair for him for $2.00.
Try. it NOW! They're $3..r0 NOW and soon they'll be $4.00.
And WOMEN'S shoes! Four dollars used to buy a shoe accept
able to the average woman. Today she must pay TEN dollars a pair
for them. And unless conditions change very materially very soon
those very ten-dollar shoes will cost her FIFTEEN dollars a pair!
What do you thing of that? It's got you thinking hasn't it?
And you know it's the TRUTH because you have ALREADY PAID
THE PRICE!
Now then, see what is taking place in the realm of MEN'S shoes.
Manufacturers and Retailers are frankly telling you in the magazines
and newspapers that they can't give you at $4.00 what they gave you
in the past, and that you have to pay $5, $6, $7 or more per pair.
And what they say is TRUE! Shoes that you once paid $4.00
for, are now $7.00! And pretty soon they'll be $8.00!
Now follows what is unquestionably the greatest master-stroke
of shoe merchandising ever accomplished. Stated in its simplest
terms, it means that you may now buy for a very short time :
for
No, this is NOT a sale it is MORE than that. It is giving you
n chance yoifr chance to buy your shoes at these remarkably low
prices, if you act immediately.
Russia,' Germany, France, England, Italy they all would
gladly pay us MORE for them for that's LESS than the ACTUAL
WHOLESALE COST OF THEM TODAY!
We have on hand, made up and in the process of making
MORE THAN THREE MILLION PAIRS OF THESE SHOES,
Think of that MORE THAN THREE MILLION PAIRS!
Wo saw this iii;ng coming long, long ago. If we were running
n single store, or only a few stores, it would be different. Rut we
operate TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN NEWARK SHOE
STORES in the United States and when we anticipate, ve place
gigantic contracts for supplies that run into millions of dollars at a
clip !
In the latter part of 1915, we contracted for enough to cover
ourselves for all of 191G and half of 1917 OVER ELEVEN MIL
LION DOLLARS' WORTH OF SHOES!
When these are gone UP GO THE PRICES for you can't
pell an article for $2.50 that costs $1 to make; or one for $2.95 that
costs $4.50 to make; or one for $3.50 that costs $5.50 to make can
you?
Smart
Styles
For
Men
and
Boys,
So we say to you BUY NEWARK SHOES NOW at $2.50,
$2.95, or $3.50 while you have that chance. And buy enough pairs
to last you at least a YEAR.
And don't forget the BOY buy HIM enough NEWARK shoes
fit $1.75 or $2.50 to see him through the year.
And tell your wife to go to HER dealer and buy a supply for
HERSELF as well.
This is not a scheme on our part to make profits you KNOW
that, for, as previously stated, the warring nations would gladly take
these shoes at these prices without us spending a dollar advertising
thorn, because, they are less than the actual wholesale cost today.
We are simply inspired by a desire to let our customers in on
the ground floor of good value on the theory that it will come back to
us ten-fold in their good will and continued support of this great
national enterprise, which today is the largest of its kind in the
world,
Let us urge upon you not to put off your visit a single day, but
to COME HERE TOMORROW. If you can't buy more that one pair
tomorrow, we'll gladly lay aside one or two extra pairs for you for
future delivery.
