The Special Shoe Sale
Under the Opera House.

Our special shoe sale goes On
with undated force and increased
popularity. While our aim and in
tention at the start of our mark
down sale was especially to get
more room, which we needed for
other goods, buyers have come to
US in such numbers and our stock
become SO much broken up and de-
pleted that we were forced to buy
more goods or disappoint many who
had come from a distance, possibly
expressly to supply themselves with
shoes. The consequence is that we
have been obliged to buy largely of
goods within the past week, and
although we have gained no more
room we're selling shoes and we
must suffer a little crowding for
what it brings US. Therefore buyers
can depend on finding a bright new
stock of fresh and seasonable high
grade and first quality goods at
lower prices than anywhere else, no
matter where the anywhere else"
may be. This takes in all this state
and all the adjoining states. It's a
bold statement, but it's true.
As we have said many times be-
fore if we quote prices they a give
no idea of qualities. It is sufficient
to say that if the people all
trained Judges of foot wear as to the
leather and workmanship we could
count our customers by the hun
dreds, as it is we are adding new
patrons every day and shall con-
tinue as long as people know that
they can obtain first class shoes and
boots at lower prices by the single
Pair than many dealers are paying
for them at wholesale.
