FALSE PRIDE Is SOMETIMES
FOR HIGH PRICES

Many people who really could not
afford it, bought an expensive auto
mobile because neighbor, with a
little more money, owned a high
priced car. Many women have in
sisted on buying high-priced footwear
because they saw other women wear
ing them. Many limitations have been
accepted. with resulting disappoint-
ment. The extremely fashionable, de-
licately made, exclusively de luxe
shoes cost big money to produce.
Manufacturers have made them and
merchants have sold them because
many women would have none other.
People have-talked a lot and COM
planned a lot about high-priced shoes,
and at the same time overlooked the
fact that there were many moderately
priced shoes to be had.
Last Spring some foolish person
started rumor that sugar was going
to be scarce and high priced. Many
people rushed out and Bought sugar
they did not need. OF course, prices
rose because of the immediate scar
city created by foolish buying. In a
few days sugar refiners announced
that there was no basis for high
prices, and the demand falling off,
brought prices back to normal.
The enormous demand for certain
shoes caused shortage of certain
feathers. People insisted on having
those shoes, declining to buy the more
conseIvatively styled and moderately
priced footwear. Prices went up.
There are today large stocks of ex-
cellent shoes, well made and very
handsomely fashioned, on dealers
shelves to be sold at moderate prices.
There are plenty of good looking and
good wearing shoes TO be had at s5,
Sc. and 81.
If YOU can afford luxuries-by all
means have them. But don't buy
anything you cannot afford because
someone else. who has more money,
buys it. In other words. if you can
afford a $1,000 automobile-buy it.
But if your limit is s600-dont ex-
ceed it.
Buy according to your purse
Don't stinge. and don't waste
