l
The only exclusively retail shoe deal
ers IN the city is the firm of Messrs.
Spencer & Kimball, No. 100 Main street
Their business attentions are concen-
trated solely on boots and shoes, and as
a natural consequence they can be great
lly relied upon as the most likely firm in
the city to be able to supply the varied
wants OF customers as regards their oedal
requirements. They are the sole agents
Tor the renowned firm of Laird, Schober
& Mitchell, of Philadelphia, manu-
facturers OF ladies' shoes, They are also
the originators OF the "men's So sboei
sale which has become so popular. and
in which they have been tried to be imi-
tated by most of the shoe dealers in the
city, but OF which they still hold the lead
by "large majority
They make a speciality OF custom work
and employ large number of skilled
workmen. Mr.. Wellock, the foreman OF
the custom department, is, it has been
plausibly asserted, the only man in Salt
Lake City who thoroughly understands
the anatomy of the foot. He makes and
fits his own lasts, and the large number
OF mail orders, accompanied by measure
ments, received from all over the sur
rounding Territories verifes the fact that
his unparalleled skill is justly appreciated.
Their store is elegantly furnished with
separate apartments for ladies and gem
tleme, and has every appearance of being
the leading shoe store in the Territory
which it certainly is.

been succeeded to by the present q. c. NJ. i.
