Some stores size the customer up as he enters their door ami nams the price on the boot or shoe accordingly, if you are a judge of boots and shoes you may get even, but the chances are ten to one against you, of having to pay an extra half dollar on your shoes that the fellow that just went, out as you came in GOT < >IT his pur chase to even up THING:* (as- you see) they say. THIRD.
