LE PRELLE SHOE COMPANY'S
SPLENDID EXPANSION.

There Is probably no business institution
in st. Louis or the West that begins the
year 1901 with brighter prospects than the
La Prelle Shoe Company. and it Is prob
able. too. that none have assurances Of q
greater percentage of increased business.
The company has just celebrated tho third
anniversary of its business career, and
within that period it sold and shipped more
than s6.00O.oOO worth Of goods. record
probably unparalleled by any other shoe
| house in the world.
Since its organization the company has
built, equipped and bought three factories,
the last being the Mound City factory.
| which has a reputation for making the
] best sporting goods in the world. and
| which Is the largest manufacturer of this
| line of goods in the world. The La Prelle
Shoe Company Will keep the quality fully
up to that so long maintained by the
| Mound City factory.
With the additions made to its factory
plants and the reconstruction improve
ments the company will be able to in
crease the output the coming year fully
so per cent over that of the year 1905 The
| company intends making a speciality Of
mems Western welts. The factory in
| which these have been manufactured in
the past has been In operation but q single
year. yet SO popular have the goods be-
come that the company's business on
mems fine shoes has increased loo per
cent during that brief period. The splen-
did success is a demonstration Of the de-
mand for st. Louis made shoes, and
monument to the company that produces
them.
Different lines Of shoes are turned out
Of the company's factory. at Jefferson
City. and from its Mullanphy factory. Its
women, misses and children, men, boys
and youths little gents McKays' have
made reputation for the firm in medium
priced goods. which. 1t is figured, will cer-
tainly insure a 80 per cent increase of
business for the year to come. The ca
pacity of the company is growing con-
stantly and rapidly. and enables It to take
care of its trade. and at the Same time
give 1t the best possible service for the
least money.

pany. has had twenty-eight years ex-

ness. He is widely known throughout the
country. and to this fact is probably due
a large proportion Of the success Of the
goods upon which the stamp Of his COM
pany is placed.
The company employs fifty travelling

ner of Eleventh and Washington avenue.
and 1000 people in its factories. It is
one of the most rapidly-growing inst1tu-
tons. not only in st. Louis. but the en-
ness world is second to none. Its brilliant
success, after a career of but three years,
indicates what may be anticipated from It
in the future. st. Louis appreciates 1t and
and success with pride. because 1t Is such
institutions that make and build UP and
cover a city with fame in commercial an
