MUIR SHOE co. DECIDE TO
MAKE CHANGE In BUSINESS

The Muir Shoe Co, informs us
that they have decided to close out
their present stock of footwear and
in the near future open up an exclu-
siye Sample Shoe Parlor, the same
as is being conducted in Milwaukee,
Chicago, La Crosse, in fact all of the
larger cities through the country. It
is their intention as soon as they
have closed out their stock they
now have on hand to close up their
store for a short time and remodel
it, put in new fixtures, rugs, ETC., in
fact make it one of the finest shoe
establishments in the state outside
of Milwaukee.
We have no doubt but what they
will make a success of it from the
start, as the men whohave charge of
it have had years of experience in
the shoe business, and know how and
when to buy as we'll as sell foot
wear.
In order to close out their stock
quickly they will begin a great
closing out sale on Monday, Feb. 14th
and will offer the people some rare
bargains in footwear All goods will
be sold for CASH, and no Credit
given to any one during this sale.
Here is success to ''The Sample Shoe
Parlors. y

BUSINESS IS
REPORTED QUIET
January and February Seem to
be the Months During the
Year. When Business Takes
F.. a Slump and Collections are
Slow.

We have noticed that every year in
the months Of January and February
business is quiet, collections slow, and
a general slump manifest. In inter
viewing our business men, they all
tell the same story. There is good
cause for this, when you stop to con-
slder that the people of this city have
contributed to the City Treasurer in
the form of taxes SIOO,OOO0O This IS
good deal of money to take out of
the circulation and center it in the
city treasury. Pay day takes place on
the 10th of this month in the paper
mills and factories and after that date,
we can expect business and collections
to be a little more brisk.
