Docs this mean anything to you?
Do you quietly accept it as most people nowadays accept

Or are you going to sec to it that one of the mightiest steps

MUSIC is fine.
But it is only the music wc hear that can do us any good.
A piano in your home, seldom played, sometimes played indif

The Anipico in your home will.
It will play for you the world's best music, as the best living
masters of the pianoforte play it. Its music will take possession
of you, turn out all the imps that pile in upon you when things go

$12 for Shoes That Women
Have Been Wanting to Pay 50
Per Cent More For
Sounds odd, but it's true.
For a month past our good
regular customers have been
asking for just such shoes as
aie included in thi3 disposal.
They would have willingly paid
$5 or $6 more a pair for them,
but wo were obliged to tell them
that we could not supply them
at that time.
Now we will not only supply
these s.hocst but we will sell
them at $12 a pair, which is a
third less than many of them
arc selling for elsewhere, and a
fine saving in every instance.
Elease remember that these
are all new style shoes, fine in
fashion and workmanship and in
every way desirable. In fact,
they are the finest shoes for
women we have in the Store, ex
cepting some hand-made and ex
clusive models in the Littlo Boot
Shop.
Thcso eight styles of lace
shoes will give an idea of the
kind of footwear in the sale:
Black glazed kidskin with
tips, dull matt kidskin tops and
Cuban heels.
Nut-brown Russia calfskin
with diamond-shaped tips and
Cuban heels.
All-gray buckskin with plain
toes and covered Louis heels.
Black glazed kidskin with
plain toes, gray cloth tops and
Louis heels.
Mahogany color calfskin with
indicated wing tips, fawn cloth
tops and broad Cuban heels.
Dull black calfskin with indi
cated wing tips, gray cloth tops
'and broad Cuban heels.

tops and broad Cuban heels.

The furniture sale that is first of all a safe,
sound, reliable sale in the character of its
merchandise and in the character of the money
you save on it is the best sale to make or to
replenish a home from.
People who pay much for furniture look
f or-the best as a matter of course. People who
buy lower-priced furniture oan least afford to
be careless in buying it.
It is a well-planned sale that just meets
the neds'of both classes with the goods.
This is the sale that meets their needs and
we have the goods to prove it.
Homekeepers looking for furniture that
perpetuates the finest traditions of the old
schools of desiern from the Middle Ages down
-to the Georgian era will find it here, some of
it in almost exact replica, other pieces sum
ciently improved to make them practical for
the present day, but retaining all the charm
and unmistakable individuality of the delight

modeled.

The lowest-priced suits are good-looking,
and', of course, they are good, otherwise we
could not afford to injure our sale by having
them in it.
The higher priced suits are the highest
achievement of modern cabinet-making. The
medium-priced suits have merit and beauty
in proportion.
