We came to Washington last fall, hired very
modest quarters at $40 Market Space, put in Il
stock of OUR CELEBRATED CRAWFORD

locality and the merits of our shoe, and have
patiently awaited results.
July /, feeling that our CRAWFORD SHOE
was appreciated in washington, we leased for

EXCLUSIVELY OUR CELEBRATED CRAW-

We claim for OUR CRAWFORD SHOE DURA-

We guarantee to-every REASONABLE pur-

A Change is Taking Place.

A change is taking place all over the
store. Light colors are giving way to
the dark, and light fabrics to the heavy
We are ushering in the goods of the new
season, and we arc taking advantage of
the inclement weather to put the store
to rights--to place these new goods so
that you may see them readily and Sc
lect easily. In choosing the new stock
we have aimed TO eclipse all previous
efforts; to make it larger and more
varied; to do the business even better
than heretofore, and to make it more
than ever to your interest to trade here.
We aim to place before our patrons the
latest and best products in our line
latest in material, style and shade, and
to carry only such goods as have an in
trinsic value-the best possible to Sc
cure at given price.
Each year we have enlarged our bust
ness, getting closer and closer to the
manufacturers, thereby procuring our
goods at rock-bottom prices, saving to
you the middle.man's profits. The
more business we do the lower we can
afford to sell.
We have leased another adjoining
building, which is now being recon-
structed, and we hope to occupy it about
November I.
This will give us much-needed room,
and enable us to enlarge a number of our
present departments, particularly on the
first floor and probably add few new
ones.
In the future, as in the past, we shall
guarantee both our goods and prices,
and refund the money for everything
sold by us, if returned in the condition
bought
Very respectfully,
