Whether it be that by
buying a moderately priced
hat each woman plans on
having another a little
later, or because she does
not like to put a great deal
of money in a hat that may
be ruined by the uncertain
weather at this time of the
year, or simply that she
finds what pleases her at
this price-whateyer the
reason, our $500 hats have
been taken unusually fast
this season.
That means that We have

EDITORIAL

Many of our best ideas
come from a study of our
customers.
For example, the other
day we were walking
through our Shoe Depart
ment when we noticed a man
trying on shoes.
az thought we didn't carry
mems Shoes" we said to the
buyer.
ave DON'T" he replied,
"but some men have discov-
cred that they can buy the
shoes made for big boys at
a saving of $500 to $3.50.
That man is one of them"
Upon investigation we dis
covered that the boys shoes
sized 4 IL to 6 are in exactly
the same styles as mems;
made OF the same materials.
but priced from $500 to $3.50
less than the same shoe could
be bought in a mems shoe
section.
We don't have a mems shoe
shop, but IL our men friends
can save $500 to $3.50 a pair in
buying boys shoes, we're
more than glad to have them
come to our Shoe Department
for their footwear. see ad-
vertisement of this below.
