PaILApKi PnIA, octobcrl2, ]


Beginning in 1876, we have
had for several years the lar
eest shoe-trade in the world.
Fer a year or two at first we
dealt chiefly in thelower grades.
As our general trade improved
our shoc-trade grew in quality
as well as in volume. There
was a time when we got to
keeping about every kind that
anybody imagined he or she
wanted. 1t was then that we
reached the destination of hav-
ing the largest shoe-trade III
tie world.
Four years ago we began to
drop the lower grades and to
narrow our stock to the actua!
needs of people. We have
gradually dropped and drop
ped since then. until we are
able to say that we haven't a
shoe in the store that isn'tuse-
full and proper to somebody
not a kind of shoe that some
body hadn't better wear.
Every fashionable shape and
kind of course, many that fash
ion permits, and some that con
time in spite of fashion-these
we keep. What we have drop
ped are mainly shams, false
leather, work disguised with
the skill of a counterfeiter-
shoes that are made to cheat
with and not to wear. There
are many kinds of such-very
good-looking shoes, some OF
them-made for short-siehted
merchants, not for the wearers,
But thousands on thousands
of people buy these shams Of
shoes. The industry of max
ing them is an enormous one.
Ninety-nine in a hundred in a
hundred shoe-dealers sell them.
You can'tjudge leather. More
than half of you, distrustful Of
shoes in general, grudge the
necessary priceo If propershoes
1t takes some pluck in a mer-
chant to tell you the truth.
We countit one of our most
signal achievements that we
have turned every imitation
shoe out of the stcre-keep
nothing but honest leather and
work-and yet have lost no
trade. We didn't do it sud
denly. 1t tookus three orfour
years to bring our standard ur
to where we intend to keep it
1t is success enough that dur
ing this time ofcontenticn witt
the less intelligent half of oui
own customers trade has NO
diminished.
1t was necessary 10 relate
this history to convey an ade
Quate notion ofwhat our shoe
trade is.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1885-11-03

IT was rumOred in New York last night
that Mayor Grace aud other equally well
known men were likely to be arrested on
charges originating in the Grant X Ward
and Marine Bank swindles. District At
torney Dorsheimer, when questioned, ad-
mitted that some arrests were to be made,
out refused to give the names of
Tho parties. During the prosecution OF
Fish and Ward the question hse occurred
TO us many times, in view c( the prompt.
ness with which the law author:-
ties Of Glasgow, Scotland, dealt
with the officers and directors OF the
North British Bank, why everybody con-
nected with these two convicted slons
waS not held personally responsible
for whatever share of the sway they might
have received. There is a wide margin
between legitimate and illpgitimata PFC
it's, and the men who protised by Ward s
transactions were Of such standing in
financial sfirs that they must have
known they were getting more on
their Investments in The month
tnsn they could legiimately earn in five
or Six years on like amounts. Forty per
cent. per month is no. made honestly now
aday5 unless it is by something like the Bell
Telephone, the sudden and quick demand
for which by the public made several
large fortunes for the first investors. But
Ward did not handle anything like the
telephone. Ills game was to rob Peter to
pay Paul. In justice to Peter, Paul, as a
