skates which then sold for from s. to 50
can now be- bought for from 81 to $3.50.
Club skates have become so cheap that
there is little demand for frame skates. 1t

the heel and toe to keep the foot in place on
the skate. IL took a good deal Of muscle
and patience to get the old fashioned skates
ION 20 stayn and gOood deal more to get
them of after the strings had frozen.
