SHOES
Woman and man alike enjoy a well-fitted, comfortable
shoe. You often hear one say, “Did you notice what a pret
ty shoe that lady, or gentleman, was wearing ?” And then
the little accessories that never cost much add so much to a
lady’s appearance. A set barrette, a hair net, a fashionable
belt pin, a dainty silk scarf, a jet necklace, an up-to-the-min
ute collar, and the public at once says she’s a stylish lady.
Strange & Cos. can fill all your wants.
