Do You Realize
The Splendid Shoe Bargains
We Are Offering ?
If the identical shoes that have been
selling in all first-class shoe stores for
$2.50, $3. and $3.50 were offered for
one-half these prices, wouldn't it be good
policy to buy liberally and at once ?
It was a fortunate circumstance that
brought these high-grade shoes to our
store. The price we paid for them was
ridiculously below their market value.
Manufacturers make mistakes, make up
too many goods at times for their trade
demands. The retailer who buys at such
times makes no mistakes. We made none
when we bought the entire overplus of
this grand shoe stock.
We Offer These
High-Grade Strictly Warranted Shoes
Made on the
Most Approved Lasts
For the Pair,
Your size is here today both in wo
men's and men's. Call this morning and
inspect them. Put them to the severest
test, and remember a new pair for every
pair that proves unsatisfactory.
