Something
7 New
The writer had heard
of "Cafeterias" and Gro
ceterias," and has himself
been engaged in the sell
ing OF shoes for a good
many years. But until
he landed in Seattle he
had never heard OF a
"Shoeteria.'
Being curious TO learn
something new. | got
busy and looked the place
up. / found il at the
Pike Place Market. en-
trance from the Pike
Place bridge. ! met Mr..
Siegel. the originator and
proprietor. who is a very
entertaining person to
talk TO. and he very
obligingly explained the
workings Of this new sys-
tenn OF shoe selling. and
showed me through the
stock. The whole idea
in nutshell is this: You
wait on yourself. The
most expensive feature OF
shoe selling. that OF clerk
hire. is practically elm
mated here. The stock
is so simply arranged
that any one can find
and fit themselves to the
shoes they want. And
the saving in cost GER
tainly pays you we'll for
your time. / could not
help but note that all the
shoes came from we'll
known houses. whose
goods are noted for serv-
ice and style.
Mems and Women's
$500 Shoes sell here at
1918 and $500; IS
Shoes sell at $3.50;
$3.50 Shoes sell at 81:
5000 Shoes at $3.50,
and $3.50 Shoes at SIS.
Boys and Girls $3.50
Shoes sell at $3.50 and
$3.50 ones at $3.50.
That's about the range
OF savings, and they are
real. But you fit your
self.
This place is known as
the "Shoeteria," Stall 80,
entrance from Pike Place
bridge.
Mr.. Siegel also con-
ducts another Shoe Store
in the Market known as
Stalls II to "a, near the
Sugar Stall, downstairs.
The same kind OF prices
prevail here, and no
Shoes can be found ex-
cept good Shoes. Both
places were doing a lively
business during the cou-
pie OF hours spent in
studying this method OF
merchandising, and my
predictions are that they
will grow, GROW!
