A Drive
In Shoes.
We have iaaagurated a big drive
in oar Men's SI.OO shoe nnd there
never was a shoe that could stand a
harder kind of a drive than it can.
It is all the same to this shoe whether
the road be rough or smooth or
whether the place be leisurely or
furious. It is cheap in the best sense
of tbe word, that is to say it is an ex
ceedingly good article for an exceed
ingly low price.
You will get just about six centa
worth of service for every five cent i
you pay for it, and that is where the
shrewdness of tbe purchase comes in
Other aboes that pays the purchaser
equally well is oar Ladies' SI.OO,
$1.25, $1.50 and $2.00 shoe. You can
find shoes at these prices but yon
won't find such stock or styles as
those goods have. The test is to wear
a pair which means you will continue
to wear them.
It's a Mistaken Idea
In storekeeping that a merchant can
make money and a reputation by
misrepresenting facts and values in
his advertisements. The fight now
adays is to earn a reputation for sell
ing a reliale article at a moderate
price. To secure this you must do
just what yoa say yon will.same pri<*
to each and every customer. The
newspaper advertising mußt be backed
np in tbe Btock. Here's the whole
secret of oar success those who
e mulste it cannot do better than fcl
low where we lead.
See oar Men's, Boys' ana Youths'
tip boots, heavy shoes, high cut,
school shoes. The fine lines in Calf,
Kangaroo, Cordovans, all widths

In Luck Certain.
After trying to sell books, pictures and
wriiignrs, and nearly every contrivance im
aginable, 1 became discouraged and
thought there was no chance for a poor
man to earn a living. There was nothing
to do on the farm, arid I could not get a
job in town, when I happened to see how
a teacher made money selling platers and
thought I would try my luck. I bought a
$5 Lighrninif Piater from H. F. Dolan it
Co., Columbus, Ohio, and from that day
my luck seemed to change. I carried the
plater from house to houte end plated
knivct , forks an J spoons, right before the
folks, aud it is surprising how many want
their things plated. I made s.'s.7o the first
day. and in one week S2B. I cau plate
with nit-klc, silver or gold. The work is
line, my customers aro pleased and I am
happy. I hope some other fellow, who is
down on his luck, will see this and do as
I h vc done aud get up in thi« world

price should b« regula.ed according t the d'fb-rerce in quality and not bo
out of proportion witb it. We do not claim to give a high grade shoe for r.

the truth he would not be selling good* very
long making such losses. What the shrewd
buyer wants to know is the present price of
goods. Below wc give you a few present prices:
