are planted more than $4,000 fine

FOOTWEAR PRICES UP
10 PER CENT. SOON
is THE Prediction

Announcement was made today by
Sig Stern, Delaware Pennsylvania
representative OF one Of the largest
shoe houses in the country, that foot
wear probably would advance 10 per
cent. in cost during the next sixty
days. Mr. Stern is at the Hotel Du-
Pont.
Shoes will be from seven to ten
per cent higher in September" Mr..
Stern said, because Of the scarcity OF
leather. Shoes now costing the peo-
pie 81 will be $3.50 under the new
scale of prices. 1t is hardly probable
the quality will be better We are
finding it difficult to obtain leather
which now is one Of the most yalu-
able products in the country This
will cause the price advance
Mr.. Stern said he could not see
how dealers in the cheaper lines Of
footwear are to continue if the price
of materials keeps booming.
