HOWland'S as a
 Shoe Store.

Years ago before 1894 this was shoe store and nothing else.
 Todayt isa shoe store still. Just good shoe store as then-better, we believe.
 To the shoe knowledge we had then has been added general business knowledge which could not fail to ake this better shoe store. We have learned as w. avt grown In fact we should not have grown if we a no learned.
 The shoes sold here to-day are bought just as carefully and with just as much knowledge they were years ago And they are the sorts of shoes that not only can but do stand back of.
 Practically every shoe in this store is built for the st We give the maker specifications and see that he lives up to them And we do not hesitate to pay little more than the usual price to the manufacturer in order to be sure of getting han-usua shoe. We do that right along and are rewarded for by what counthe best shoe business in this section
 Rowland 300 and 400 shoes for men are made as we'll as is possible to make shoes for men, SoeS are weed to give durability and comfort and to make possible to have new soles sewed on when old ones wears out They are made in high or low cut and in all the liked feathers
 Rowland shoes for women are made just as carefully and with just as much knowledge. Shapes are picked that we know will give comfort as well as look we'll Good leather is insisted upon And the shoes show their worth all through, 500 buys the best From that you may pay as little as 200 and always count on full moneys worth
 What is true of shoes is true of everything else in the store. We always plan to give at least hundred cents worth for every dollar

in part as follows: Bank inter-

assertion, yet closer analysis
may not wholly disprove the state
ment that the high grade stocks
are being sold.' Our recent re-
ports have to very great extent
conceded with the above and We

SHOULD BOYCOTT FRANCE,
SAYS PRESIDENT MORTON

NEW YORK, July 24.-Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assurance
society, who arrived yesterday from Eu-
rope declared in an interview that the
United States should boycott the French
goods and teach France a lesson.
Some very strange suggestions were
made to me during my visit to Paris, re-
garding the recent attempt to have UNI
ted States Steel Common listed on the
Paris bourse," said Mr.. Morton today.
"a number of prominent French bankers
suggested that 1t might be an easy mat
ter to get American securities listed for
trading on the French exchanges II
America would make some tariff conces-
sions for French imports. But the gen.
uine surprise came when gentleman
high in a governmental official rank
came to me with a tentative proposition
to the effect that If the United States gov
eminent would make some preferential
tariff arrangements for French imports
he could suggest a plan whereby the hst-
ing of American securities on the Paris
bourse would be almost assured. 1 told
him that I was very sure no such prop
osition would be entertained for one mo-
ment.
UNLESS France awakens to a realiza-
ton of the fact that we are among her
best customers, something like Doycott
on French goods ought to be instituted.
Mr.. Morton said that he spent day
with E. H. Hartman at Semmering'
Austria, and found the railroad man look
ing remarkably well.
