Don't get excited about shoe costs.
The press notices to the effect that
..$25.OO and up" shoes are in sight is
largely myth. There always have
been $500 shoes and about one per-
son in ten thousand would pay this
price. There always have been $1,000
to $500 shoes, and numbers of people
would buy these shoes-possibly be
cause they matched dress" or for
some other equally important reason.
There always have been shoes for
dress-up and street wear, retailing
from $500 to $500 for the past ten
years. Our shoes retailing at $500 to
$4,000 before the war, now sell at
$500 to $500, showing an advance in
price of $500 to $500 per pair.
We, as leaders in our line, have
always carried some Of the newest
and best shoes for those who want
the latest thing in style and, Of course.
| merchandise of this kind costs more
than plain staple goods. These shoes
! interest men and women who like to
wear sexclusive'' styles and can af-
ford it.
There always have been work shoes
$500 to $500 for hard wear. There
always have been boys and girls
shoes at similar prices. The shoes Of
this kind which we sold before the
war at $500 to $500 were sold during
the war at from S4.OO to $500 and are
being sold now at $3.50 to $500.
The advance in the price of our
shoes in four years averages about
$500 to $500 per pair.
Now, these are the facts about ouI
shoes, and it looks different from
the fiction which is being so largely
handed around the country about
''S25O0 Shoes"
