The milestones along the road are the same, but they seem to call to us to not stumble and fall along the way as we did in past years. People often speak of opening a new account with destiny, courses of study, expenditures of time, economies and the savings bank. Why not open a new account with our consciences to talk less and do more to make people and homes happier and thus add to our peace of mind? Let us determine to be reasonable, frank, firm and careful of our censure of each other and Industrious to improve in all our occupations. Signed Jan. 6, M0. QM fpmafo.

(Mala Floor, Central) An Extraordinary Disposal of Women's Fine New Shoes We own many thousand pair of the fine shoes for women, all purchased ,f or the present and incoming season. No shoe in the lot but that has been agreed upon by the styles committee of the shoe business of the United States as the correct thing for the Fall and Winter seasons of 1920-1921. We have conscientiously conducted our business with a view to keeping down prices to the lowest notch, so as to pay us only a fair profit, and this is particularly noticeable in the matter of shoes, the rising prices of which have attracted so much notice. We believe now that we should go further, though our shoe merchant does not agree with us, since he anticipates that shoes for the entire year of 1920 will have to be sold at higher prices than at present. We therefore start now, letting go our normal profit, and in many cases more than that, to make a Disposal at $12 a Pair of 2345 pair of shoes that were bought under an agreement of eight months ago and that up until today have been marked $2 to $6 a pair higher. BOUGHT IN THE MARKET TODAY there isn't a pair of shoes in the lot that could normally sell at retail within $6 of our new price. In a sense the disposal is an experiment. It will show at once whether our customers want a greater number of shoes to come down in price. The shoes in the lot placed on sale include some of the finest in America. There are: Twelve distinct and separate styles. Not a broken lot in the number. . Each of the styles is complete in sizes usually bought for such styles. There are eight full Louis covered heels. Their retail designations, by which many customers will recognize them, are as follows: Style 305, brown glazed kid vamp, bronze satin top, lace shoe, covered Louis heel. Style 306, patent leather vamps, black satin top, lace shoe, with covered Louis heel. Style 325, brown glazed kid vamp, field-mouse glazed kid top, lace shoe, with cov ered, high Louis heel. Style 326, brown glazed kidskin vamp, brown cloth top, lace shoe, with covered high Louis heel. Style 327, all gray glazed kid lace shoe with covered high Louis heel. Style 328, brown glazed kid vamp, brown cloth top, button shoe, with high Louis heel. Style 329, patent leather vamp, gray glazed kid top, button shoe, with high Louis heel. Style 332, dull black calf skin vamp, fawn color top, lace shoe with Cuban leather heel. Style 335, all dull matt kid lace shoe with plain toe and covered high Louis heel.

Not only does it bring fine, desirable weaves in notable choice at a considerable advantage over prevailing prices, but it comes as a happy token of returning normal conditions. There is something very hopeful about it, some thing that makes one think of the glorious rising sun of the East, from whence these fine rugs $80,000 worth have come as a good sign of the reopening of the world's peaceful channels of trade. The rising sun of new hope is a good symbol of this event. At least, that is our sentiment, but we also know of benefit to customers a sale must be strong in actual fact. In actual fact this is the strongest sale we have been able to make in some years. We have had larger sales, but none quite so good in price advantages. All the rugs offered are new from the East. They are the cream of the latest large consignments to arrive in America some of them having been four years on the way.
