SUGGESTION TO SHOE BUYERS.

In purchasing shoes the first thing is
to go where you can get the most value
for your money, as there is no part of
wearing apparel that has so much abuse
as footwear. The c. 81. Bennett Shoe
Co. of Bridgeport has had the reputation
for good many years to give more for
the money than any other shoe house in
the city. They have large assortment
in ladies' and gentlemen's, misses and
children's shoes, oxford ties and slippers
and those wishing to save money will
give them call before purchasing else
where.
