July Clearance of
White Pumps and Oxfords
Bringing Values of an Exceptional Nature
It is very true that our stocks of these shoes are not
as complete as at the beginning of the season. But
while we cannot give perfect service because of these de
pletions, each pair of shoes that still remains is worth its
full regular price. There are about 100 pairs in the lot
and each pair has a special reduced price for this week. -
We Must Emphasize the Splendid Value
of Our Oxfords at $4.95
First of all. $5 for a pair of leather oxfords is the least
price women expect to pay for a smart shoe. Yet in spite
of the fact that this price is unusually low, we set out to
find the best oxford in the market—not only in the wan
ted tapering toe style, but of a dependable, strong leather.
These are unusually well made; have the high French heel
and made of tan and black leathers. Sizes are becoming
depleted so it is the part of wisdom to make selection at
once.
Misses and Children’s Oxfords and Pumps—sl.so to $3.50.
Made in patent, gun metal and kid leathers. Very neat styles designed for
growing feet.
The Most Important Feature in the Purchase
of Men’s Shoes is COMFORT.
>
You might just as well throw them
away, if the shoes pinch you and keep you
on edge.
Our Ralston Health Shoe is CERTAIN
to give you real foot comfort. < ’ -—-
Price $6.00 to $8.50
