MOVING MADE EASY.

FIGURES TO PROVE THE CORRECTNESS OF

 After thinking the matter over and get ting bids from several contractors we have concluded the best and cheapest way to move is to turn our goods into dollars, which are easy to handle. On October we will move to 20l2 First avenue, and will up to that time offer the following bargains
 Hanan's S6 and s7 shoes at $3.s5. A small lot of hand-sewed bals, congress, 7b 10 Il, at Il 90; 300 pairs of ladies' Uxfords, ali sizes and styles, cost from Fl 25 to $2, at S1 1; zoo pairs of misses and children s Uxfords, cost 75 cents to S1. 25, at 60 cents. Children s red Oxfords, 20 cents; infants' soft soles, l5 cents. Ladies' button boots, misses and children s school shoes at cost. You will naturally ask, 'tHow can you sell them so cheap?'' In the first place we bought the shoes at less than 50 per cent of their value, and, secondly, we are deter mined not to carry over a single pair of summer goods. This is a splendid oppor- tunity 10 shoe your entire family at very small cost. Repairing done well and as cheap as any place in the city.
