ODDLY SHAPED FEET NOW GET
FITTED IN ARMY SHOES

Two out of every 1000 men In
the Army have to have their shoes
made to order. In several camps en-
tire regiments have had their feet
measured, and hundreds of draw
ings were made of odd shapes and
sizes. At the present time the Army
uses between 100000 and 3,OOO,-
900 pairs of shoes a month.
Facts brought out in tests seem
to prove that men in the present
Army are larger than those serving
in previous wars. Not only is this
shown by the larger sizes of shoes
called for, but by the larger sizes
of outer clothing that is being re-
quired. Records in the Quarter
master Corps show that a size larg-
er, on the average, is being demand
ed in blouses, shirts, and breeches
than have ever before been used.

ADVERTISING IMPORTANCE
IMPRESSED. ON CL0THIERs

Emphasizing the Importance that
lies in the merchant stating the
truth in all advertisements, for it is
through this way that the good will
Of the consumer is secured, Thomas
f. Basham delivered q message in
tensely interesting to the delegates
TO the Kentucky Retail Clothiers'
Association at the closing session
at the Seelbach. Mr.. Basham went
deep into the subject, discussing it
from various angles, giving the view
point of the merchant in comparison
with that Of the buying public. Bus
mess houses, according to the speak
err, cannot afford to cease advertis-
ing on account of the war, for their
concerns will suffer tremendously
both now and in the future.
advertising is an asset, because
it produces the good will of the con-
sumner and makes him desire to buy
that which you offer intelligibly and
economically. Give value received
and state the truth at all times, for
should you adopt any other policy
than that the public, will not trade
with you"
Standardized values were indorsed
by Mr.. Basham, who said that bet
ter results would be obtained by
bringing about such a movement.
After making the price, allowing
living profit to the retailer, he adj
vised the merchants to stick to their
prices. According to the speaker,
an advertising man, to be success
full, should know the value of mer-
chandise. A round table discussion
followed his address.
Mr.. Basham when asked if the
business houses in the small towns,
which have lost population through
the draft, could afford to curtail
their advertising, he said "no." How
ever, he urged the writer's of adver-
Using of the small cities to be more
specific in their announcements.
The sixth annual convention

dent; 1. L. Price, of Paris, first vice
