The usual Sale of Shoes at this time of the year is a riddance of "undesirables." On the contrary this Stock-Reducing Sale is the culmination of our well-laid plans. We never prepared so lavishly, nor so far in advance for any previous season as we did for this one. Where most stores bad dozens of styles, we had hundreds, because we knew that leather and making costs would continue to increase, and that our surplus stocks would be worth mqre at the end of the season than at the beginning. Our fore sight has more than proved correct ; for our abundance of stock when most stores were de pleted has brought us thousands of new customers all season ; we have just completed by far the greatest year in our history and what is more important to you today we can sell our enormous surplus stocks now at about HALF their present market value, yet with out loss to ourselves. It's the greatest, biggest sale we ever announced it's the -greatest, biggest shoe buying opportunity you've ever been offered.
