Entertainments
At Home*
The people of this section are to

Watch for it and plan now to come

SHOES v
Don't get excited about shoo costs.
The press notices to tho effect that
“$25.00 and up” shoes are in sight is
largely a myth. There always have
been $25.00 shoes and about one per¬
son in ten thousand would pay this
price. There always have been $10.00
to $15.00 shoes, and numbers of people
would buy these shoes—possibly be¬
cause they “matched a dress” or for
some other equally Important reason.
There always have been shoes for
dress-up and street wear, retailing
from $5.00 to $15.00 for the past ten
years. Our shoes retailing at $5.00 to
$10,000 before tho war, now sell at
$7.00 to $15.00, showing an advance in
price of $2.00 to $5.00 per pair.
We, r.s I r.,1 n our line, have
always carried some of the newest
and best shoes for those who want
the latest thing in style and, of course,
merchandise of this kind costs more
than plain staple goods. These shoes
interest men and women who like to
wear “exclusive” styles and can af¬
ford it.
There always have been work shoes
$3.00 to $5.00 for hard wear. There
always have been boys’ and girls’
shoes at similar prices. The she es of
this kind which we sold before the
•war at $3.00 to $5.00 were sold during
the war at from $4.00 to $7.00 and are
being sold now at $4.50 to $8.00.
The advance in the price of our
shoes in four years averages about
$2.00 to $3,00 per pair.

Now, these are the facts about our
and it looks different from
fiction which is being so largely
around tho country about
shoes.”
The above quoted prices show tho
advances which have been necessary
In our shoes, due to increasing cost
(with which everybody is familiar) of
bides, leather, materials and tabor,
plus the intelligent and efficient ser¬
we render our customers.
Don’t be talked into paying any;
fancy or ridiculous prices for your
foot-w r ear. Advances there are and
advances there will be—legitimate and
necessary, but nothing like the extra
vagent statements frequently made
about “$25.00 shoes” need give you a
moment’s concern.
And now a word of advice. Don’t
speculate in shoes. Don’t buy any
more than you need. Meaning, don’t
hoard shoes, as some people are doing.
If you buy a pair of shoes suited to
your needs and take good care of them
and have them repaired when they,
need repairing—keep them well half
Bolcd and well heeled—you can save
a lot of money on your footwear.
This is intended to give you a plain
statement about shoes, in contradic¬
tion to the wild and extravagant
rumors so prcsistently published
throughout tho country.
