The Popular DOUGLAS Shoes.

There is no shoe..made for mems wear
that has attained greater popularity
han the celebrated w. l.. Douglas shoe.
the fact that they combine style and
quality at low price has given them
Qniversal indOrsment. The manufac-
ture Of these shoes has made il possible
for man in the most ordinary circum-
stances to keep himself provided with
footwear of as good style as the mar
ket afords-the extremely low price at
which they are sold placing them within
reach of all.
The only cheap quality in them. howi
ever is the price; in all othes respects
they grade as high as any shoe in the
market. Their lasting qualities have
been fully tested and found 70 be
unequalled. They are not only of good
style when new, but retain their shape
and excellent appearance unit; COM
pletely worn out-a very rare qnaiity in
even the highest priced shoes. They
are sold in Great Bend by G. Samueis
who has just received a new invoice of
the various styles.
