The G. III. Bennett Shoe Co. OF Bridge
port are going to make the next few das 9
record breakers In the history of the shoe
business. The reputation they have
gained In selling shoes, Oxford ties and
slippers during the great Meyers sale, at
the extremely low prices they have
placed upon them, is wonderful, as they
were far below the cost Of manufacture
ing them. They are going to close the

make a clean sweep Of il, at mere
fraction OF It's actual worth Those
desiring footwear will do sell to give
them call and look over the bargains

enough places in Newtown's main roads

won the sympathy of all; while the
