MOODY'S SEytANNUAL
SHOE SALE SUCCESS

The semi-annual shoe sale of the
Moody store started Saturday morn
ing with wonderful success as the re-
suit Of the low prices. While many
pairs Of the $4,000 stock still remain
and an excellent variety is left to
choose from it is well for those in
tending to buy to not delay their pur-
chases as nothing is to be gained; the
prices will not be cut lower than they
are at the present time.
Saturday many pleased customers
left with shoes that were purchased at
a fraction of the original price. Many
more will do the same during the
next few days. The success of this
sale is the result of the values.
