Our $3 Shoe
1
When we thought of starting
this new department we made up
our minds to have a shoe at a pop
ular price, that for leather, quality
and finish could not be imitated
anywhere. First we hunted up the
best last designer we could find a man who is used to
working on the better grades. The shoemaker has fol
lowed his lines. The result is a $3.00 shoe that could
not possibly be sold in the regular way for less than
$4.00. Every sole is solid oak tanned leather with up
pers of enamel, box calf, kangaroo or seal top. The
toes are blocked according to exclusive styles for this
fall. We know that this $3.00 shoe cannot be dupli
cated at this price.
