Warmest Welcome on Record for a Shoe Sale
A Young Man Walking Down
the Street Yesterday
looking at the sun setting after it had done its day's
work said to the writer: "I have never sought to be
great, I only want to do a good day's work and have
it said of me that I have been faithful."
The first thought of qur brave lads on the
battlefronts with Pershing, when there was a
chance to send a message home by a comrade
returning disabled or upon a furlough, was: "Tell
mother I am trying to be brave and faithful," and
rthat true mother would send a message back to her
boy:
"Tell Billy his mother wants him to be true and
faithful, and then nothing is difficult."
What better message than that mother's
message for any of us "to be brave and faithful in
the Store and Home, or out of it."

The Fashion in Men's
Fall Clothes
is faithfully typified in the initial groups of new suits now
shown in the Men's Clothing Store.
They are distinctive and novel, but in no way outlandish.
They are in all respects manly.
Double-breasted, two-button coats are the style. Gen
erally speaking, they are cut a trifle longer this year, the
waist line is high and the lines graceful.
The waist-line model is still in evidence, but an especially
favored style has a belt either half way around or else run
ning all the way inside or outside.
Trousers are cut straight and in a moderate width, not
tight and not loose.
In the advance guard blue, brown and gray are the pre
vailing shades.
It is an interesting but not large, showing of suits that
faithfully interprets all that is finest in men's new Fall clothing
fashions.
Prices from $35 to $65.
