A Gallery for Shoes.

Those OF our readers who are familiar with
the large dry goods houses OF Chicago, New
York and other eastern cities are aware that
nearly. If not quite, all of them have ad ded n
Departmental for ladies' and misses fine shoes,
and that these additions are valuable scqulsi'
tions to the several houses as well as a con-
venl ence to the patrons. so it is also in OF.
tawa. a year ago Scott Bros. " Co. put in Il
small stock of these goods, and their trade
has so increased that they have been obliged
to make numerous additions from time to
time until now their line of fine shoes for
ladies and children can not be eXcelled by
any dealer in La Sale county. Indeed, this
is more apparent when it is known that to
provide for the stock now in store it has be-
come necessary to run the shelving up to the
ceiling and build gallery midway with
stairs leading up to- it. This gallery is on
the plan of those adopted in New York, and
enables the statesmen TO conveniently reach
all parts of the stock with alacrity. An inyi.
taton is extended to all to call and see the
new goods.
