Nothing is more essential to the real happi
ness of young and old than a comfortable and
stylish pair of SHOES, and no question is of
more importance to the buyer than where to
get such an article at the right price. It is for
the benefit of such that these lines are intended.
We do not claim to be the only people who sell
SHOES—not “the only pebble on the beach,”—
but we do sell the kind of SHOE you are look
ing for at a price that seller will suit any reasonable
buyer. If the other says he “can give
you a better shoe for the same money,” or “as
good shoe for less money,” remind him of the
fate of Annanias, and pass him by; he is a de
ceiver; nobody can would do business like on demonstrate less margin
than we can. We to
this to yon in the next pair of SHOES you need.
We guarantee satisfaction both as to price and
quality in Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Footwear.
