FOB YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY.
Why?
Because
They sell only the best bhoes made, and one pair will
wear longer than two pairs bought from other houses who
keep cheap stuff. Did you buy Shoes from us last winter?
If so, we ar? not talking to you, as no one could influcnqe
you to buy from any one else; but this isjto those who have
been buying shoddy Shoes from merchants who do not care
for any thing but the profits, and regardless of wear.
Just ask your neighbor about our 'Winter Shoes and
they will tell you about them better than we can write. It
is poor economy to buy Shoes for winter that will not
serve you ten months or one year, even tf you can get
them for 15 cents a pair less. We are going to keep and
sell Shoes that wi'.l give satisfaction to every one who buys
of us. We want to sell you and your family your winter
goods and will save you money sure. Youis,
