M Wonderful Selling "Drive"
The Dando Commnv, Philadelphia, Pa.
Gentlemen The exhibition of our car last week was a tremendous
success. It created a sensation such as the automobile world lias
never known. l
Twenty of the twenty.five cars offered were sold on the floor in
four-and-a-half daysand when one considers the average cost of
Ihe car being Jlj.ooo, it really is a rem.irkablc performance for a '
new and formerly unheard-of machine. This means that practically
f 160,000 worth of automobiles were sold, and we have a book full
of live prospects requesting demonstration which will more than
take carejof the fiv'e remaining cars.
We attribute this wonderful selling drive to the remarkable
literature which ou prepared and produced for us, for it created in
the mind of the recipient a desire to sec the car, and they came
in droves. A'nme and address on rrqunt
This campaign, characterized as "ove of the most successful
drives in automobile history," was planned, written hnd uorked
out to the last spectacular detail by us.

Just can't take another step, your feet hurt so?
So tired that if you once get your shoes off
you'll "simply never put them on again"?
If your feet hurt like this and your ankles
pain and the soles of your feet ache and burn,
and your toes cramp then there "must be some
unnatural condition that is putting an extra
strain upon the muscles and ligaments of
your feet.
All of these pains indicate a weakened and
falling arch! For if your arch is falling the
weight of your body is being unevenly dis
tributed thrown on the center and fore part
of your foot. And this causes a great deal of
pain, because the heel is naturally the point
at which two-thirds of your weight should be
carried.
You need something to remove the excessive
strain from those tired muscles and ease your
feet! You need to have your body's weight
re-balanced, so that no part of your foot will
be hurt and strained.
Dr. Sertoli's Foot-Eazer has been designed
according to scientific principles and after years
of study and experience. It will bring your
feet the relief they need. Your body will be
properly balanced; the muscles that have become
unnaturally strained will be rested, and your
whole system, will be relieved from the fatigue
caused by aching, hurting feet.
The graduate Practipedist foot expert
in the store carrying Dr. Scholl's Foot Com
fort Appliances can fit the Foot-Eazer inside
your sfioe. He understands all foot troubles
and their underlying causes and scientific means
of correcting them. His services are given
you without charge. You need not remove
your hose to have him examine your feet.
Go to your shoe dealer's and get immediate
relief!

LAST WEEK wetold you that the first Saturday of November brought the largest one
of business in the history of this Clothing Store. The second Saturday exceeded that r
of thousands of dollars ! All of which most forcefully indicates that WE HAVE THE
the VALUES and that more and more men are finding it out.
If such phenomenal selling suggests any depletion in our stocks, please disabuse your
such thoughts. Thousands of dollars' worth of Clothing has been
added this week shipments of orders placed four, live and six
months ago so that you will still find the most comprehensively
COMPLETE STOCK in this city.
We could not replace any line of the Clothing now here at
the price we paid ; therefore, every garment here, based on present
cost of production, is worth more than our price. But the fact to
be especially emphasized is that we have many EXTRA-SPECIAL
LOTS marked at considerably less than our own fair regular
prices.
