The standard of Rich's
footwear is the highest stand
ard in the world, for the
reason that United States
leads in shoemaking, and the
product of the foremost
makers in this country only
are shown here. That puts
this shoe establishment on
equal terms with the best
shops in New York, for here
you find the same swell
fashions-the same distlnc-
tive effects to be seen in that
great metropolis.
Careful observation will
disclose the fact to YOU as it
has to us-that we are show
ing a greater variety of foot
wear and footwear accessor-
les than even the New York
shops show. Thus YOU may
thank Rich's progressiveness
for what is really, with all
these facts considered, the
leading shoe establishment of
the world.
These are extraordinary
claims, but are borne out by
facts.
For instance, we know of
no other shoe establishment
where it is possible to select
from over a hundred different
shades in slippers for even
ing, reception and weddings,
from which we can match
any gown.
We know of no other shoe
shop showing equal variety
in woman's carriage, boudoir
and street footwear.
Certainly, it is not pos
sible to find one shoe concern
exhibiting so many fashions
in sporting footwear for men,
women and children, embrac-
ing riding hunting, shooting,
golfng, fencing, running,
foot ball, basket ball and
gymnasium footwear.
Where else is it possible to
select from an equal variety
in coachmen's, footmen's,
nurses and bell boys foot
wear?
Where else are to be seen
so many exclusive styles in
young mems and young wo-
mems College" shoes?
The same completeness is
noticeable in accessories-all
the meritorious makes of
shoe trees-all the good
kinds of polishes, etc, etc.
The best grades in every
line-yet not expensive
prices. Mems shoes start at
$3.50 and are the best at
that price. Women's shoes
start at $500 and better val
Ties are not obtainable.

His Application Answered
Triumphantly by County
Counsel Griffin.

Corporation Counsel George L. Record
made his certiorari attack on the recent
new Court House resolution of the
Board of Freeholders this morning before
Judge Dixon. After hearing Mr.. Rec
ord's argument Judge Dixon refused to
grant the writ of certiorari on the ground
that the court did not see any reason in
the argument why the writ should be al
lowed. County Counsel Grihn was pres
ent to present the case for the Freehold
.ers but Judge Dixon did not ask to hear
him.
1t was the unanimous opinion that the
Beard of Freeholders showed excellent
Judgment in consulting the best legal au-
thority before. proceeding in the matter.
Much comment has been heard at the
Court House condemning the attempt Of
the Republicans to prevent this sereiy

nounced that Mr.. Records certiorari
scheme had fallen through there was
general feeling of satisfaction.
That the new Court House will soon
