Shoes for Women
Interesting Summer Styles

The final merit of Wanamaker shoes is, of course, handsome and correct style. The first point is goodness; and midway is comfort, which the last must assure.
 We make most critical examina- tions before deciding on feathers and lasts; then we demand perfection of finish that marks our shoes as the top-notch of shoemaking skill.
 Let popular price illustrate: Here are wom- en's black kidskin boots at $3, that are not matched at that price anywhere. (Ask to see style number 943 or CA, when you come in. ) Laced and buttoned, with stout welted soles that are very fexible-excellent material used at every point, and finely finished. The best shoes we ever saw for $3.
