III2RI3A COLLEGE FOUNDS
MODERN RURAL SCHOOL
Institution Marks New Method in Edu

U. S. Educational Bureau

s-parsely settled districts) of the country.
The school Is to be known as the Uleanor
Krot Model Oural School, and will be under

State of Kentucky was represented by Su

a A Second Important Message To The People of The United States Appearing ToUayln 400 of The'Leading Papers
Why Should Tho Public Be Kept In The Dark? Why Not OUT
Willi The Facts So That Every Man and Woman May KNOW
What Is Ahead And Prepare For That Which Is To Come?
Read Every Word That Follows and Act
As Your Own Judgment DictaLes.
America is going begging for leather! The nations of
Europe have gobbled it up until there is no more left to gobble !
Dazzled by European gold the tanners have sold, sold, sold
until they not only have no more to sell, but have sold a good
part of that which should have been kept for OURSELVES!
The warring nations need food and clothing the same as
we do and the only way we can keep any for OURSELVES is
to pay American manufacturers as much as EUROPE is willing
to pay. And that's what we have been doing and we will have
to CONTINUE doing it for sometime even AFTER the war is
settled.
There you have the answer why everything is costing you
bo dearly these days.
Now, then look what's happening in the SHOE industry.
The prices for leather have taken such enormous advances that
shoe manufacturers have been obliged to raise prices higher
than they have ever been in the history of the United States!
And they are predicting that Shoes that were $4 a pair in 1912
will cost EIGHT dollars a pair before the end of 1917 !
In fairness to the public why not OUT with the facts and
TELL the people about it NOW so that everybody may have
the chance to buy for future needs BEFORE FURTHER enor
mous raises in prices come?
You've ALREADY had a sample of what's coming. Cer
tain manufacturers and retailers are telling you in the news
papers and magazines that shoes at $4 are a thing of the past;
that they are now going to cost you $6, ?7 and $8.00 a pair!
And WE, who are paying for this nation-wide campaign of
enlightenment, WE ALSO will have to charge you MORE in
the near future, the SAME AS OTHER BIG CONCERNS. But
before we DO raise our prices, we are going to GIVE EVERY
BODY A CHANCE TO BUY AT OUR PRESENT LOW
PRICES the LOWEST, at this moment, in the country. There
fore, while our supply holds out, you may buy :
hoes Worth 5
$4.00 for
ihoes Worth
$4.50 for'
hoes Worth j
$5.50 for -
No, those are NOT reduced prices. BUT THEY ARE LOW
ER THAN PRESENT WHOLESALE PRICES. And before
the end of this year, unless conditions change very quickly, the
shoes we are offering you TODAY at $2.95 will cost you $5.00
per pair!
You ask how can we sell you a shoe, for example, at $2.50
today, of the same high standard as we have been'selling all over
the- United States for years, when the same article costs $3.50
at WHOLESALE?
Because WE had the foresight and the courage to go into
the market BEFORE THE PRICE OF LEATHER WAS
KNOCKED INTO A COCKED HAT! In 1915 we contracted
for enough to last us until the middle of 1917. ELEVEN MIL
LION DOLLARS WORTH.
At this moment we have made up and in process of manu
facture NEARLY THREE MILLION PAIRS of NEWARK
SHOES. Were we not as big as we are and as powerful and
as foresighted we would be in the same boat with the rest.
You know that it requires no big advertising campaign to
sell flour at $4 a barrel when there is an unlimited and unquench
able dqmand for it at $10 a barrel. And by the same token, it
isn't necessary to spend money advertising Shoes at $2.50, worth
$4.00; or Shoes at $2.95, worth $4.50; or Shoes at $3.50, worth
$5.50 for'wc can sell every pair we've got and have more takers
for them than we have shoes !
But this is how we look at it: We've got the Shoes, and
even though other manufacturers tell us we are fools to sell them
at these low prices, when we could got the ADVANCED prices
just as easily and STILL be under everybody else WE ARE
NOT GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION.
We figure that by acting on the principle that "one good
turn deserves another," we will gain tremendously in the GOOD
WILL OF THE PUBLIC and that in the end our profit will
be the GREATER by having made thousands of NEW loyal customer-friends
by sticking to this policy.
With a string of 257 NEWARK Shoe Stores in every prin
cipal city in the United States, you can see that it won't be long
before the present available supply of these NEWARK Shoes at
$2.50. $2.95 and $3.50 is absorbed. So we urge upon you NOT
to put ofi; your visit here a single day, but to come TOMORROW
and come prepared to buy a YEAR'S supply if you possibly
can.
If you can't afford to buy more than one pair tomorrow
we will gladly reserve as many extra pairs as you wish for
delivery a week or so later.
And don't forget tho BOY. You don't want to pay $2,50
later on for Shoes that cost $1.75 now, or $3,50 for Shoeg that
cost $2.50 now do you? But that's what you'll have to DO IF.
YOU DON'T ACT NOW.
So come TOMORROW and you'll never regret it
