Low Shoes
Must
Ge^Out
THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT
Carpenters with whom wo
have contracted are right be
hind us, demanding that they
be allowed to proceed with
the'r work. Painters too, are
“kicking” because they can’t
get full sway. Then, too, we
have visions of the days, not
so far distant, when Low Shoes
will be a dreg upon the mar
ket. There are bills to be
paid, too. • . ■ ■ •
AH the above forces are be
hind us impelling to action.
We’ve just got to move out
these Low Shoes; that’s all
there is to it. We can’t afford
to quibble about prices.
Getting rid of the stock quick
ly, now, is the point. We want
you here.
1 i
The stock is so complete in
this season’s styles and ail
kinds of leathers, as to afford
the certainty of our being able
to meet the requirements of
everyone. There are full Pat
ents, semi-Patents, Tans, Gun
Metals, Vici, Calfskin and
others.
L nK
\ v? u
There are Low Shoes for men
who are satisfied with only the
most dressy; those just suit
ed for business wear and inex
pensive ones for the man who
is forced to economize. Ample
provision exists for meeting
the every want of the ladies,
boys and girls. Our salespeo
ple are all those whose entire
business life has been spent in
serving shoe buyers.
