are calling for the heavier sole
slippers since they have looked in

for the good of all concerned. The
heavy sole will protect the feet
better and longer and will hold the
new shape so much longer. When
our shoes give satisfactory wear
they bring in new customers and
bring the old ones back. Wear
thick sole shoes and quit having

VOTES GIVEN TO CUSTOMERS
For Subscriptions, Job Printing
or Advertising at The Enter
prise Office or Merchan-
disc at The Bazaar.

That advertising is now science
is again demonstrated practically to
the buying public of this section by
the wonderful advertising system
now employed by the enterprising
business of The Bazaar, which is
going to give away absolutely FREE
to some of their customers on De-
cember 26, 1911, the beautiful Cote
Piano which is now on exhibition at
their store. The piano sells for $3.50
and is a high class instrument in
every respect Just think of it! A
$4,000 Piano to be Given Away!
A few years ago, if a merchant was
to do such thing he would have
been considered a fit subject for an
asylum, but conditions have chang
ed, yet in the face of the enormous
sum spent in advertising the fact
of The Bazaar giving away a $3.50
piano is a stupendous undertaking,
and it clearly demonstrates hteir
desire to be always up to and a
little ahead" of the spirit of the
times.
Every purchaser of 81 worth of
goods from any department of their
store will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. For every
81 subscription to the Enterprise
5000 votes will be given, also 100
votes for each Dollar paid on adver-
Using or job printing. The person
presenting the largest number of
votes on December 26th will receive
the piano absolutely free. No favors
will be shown and every person will
receive an equal chance. The repu-
tation enjoyed by The Bazaar for
square dealing" insures this fact.
We think the buying people will ap-
preciate this extremely liberal offer
of Mr.. R. l. Maffett, and we predict
a lively scramble for votes. When
making purchases, or paying for
subscriptions, advertising or job
printing, ask for votes.

On the tenth Of that month the child
Of the millionaire lost her rag doll.
There were many servants in the mil

these ransacked the house and grounds.
but without finding the lost treasure.
The child was a girl Of f1ve and one Of
those perverse little beasts that often
wound the sensibilities Of wealthy par.
ents by fixing their affections upon
some vulgar. inexpensive toy instead
Of upon diamond studded automobiles
and pony phaetons. 4.
The child grieved sorely and truly, a
thing inexplicable to the millionaire, to
whom the rag doll market was about
as interesting as Bay State gas, and to
the lady. the child's mother. who was
all for form-that is, nearly all, as you
shall see. s-... %.. 9..s. r..

the finest bedside manners and stop

they chartered futilely about pepto-

Then. as men, they advised that the
rag doll be found as soon as possible
and restored to its mourning parent.
