They'll wear like iron" So says
the head OF the shoe department In
speaking of the splendid District 7t
school shoes-and he's thoroughly In
earnest, too! OF course he doesn't
mean that they'll fit or feel like iron
There isn't a pair Of shoes In the list
that won't bring ease and comfort tC
the little feet that wear then-nnd
they'll last about twice the life of the

q than $1,000. and feeling sure that Il
-, citizens OF Payson could not raise 50 40
In as il would take that amount added
