A Big Surprise
For Men
EN-

The Big News You Have
Been Waiting For
News that the tri-cities have been on the
tie-toe of expectancy. For some time we
have planned to give our friends and Gus
toners in the tri-cities an occasion to re-
member for long time to come, and to
demonstrate to the public the purpose Of
this institution to serve the people in every
possible way.
Merchandising conditions have been very
unsettled and many have felt the steady adj
vance in the cost of daily necessities All
these matters will find ready adjustment
when production catches up to consump-
ton, when everybody works to the limit and
more goods are produced. Until that time
there is bound to be further advance in mer-
chandise of every kind and for the coming
season all lines have advanced by strides
In the face of such condition as this with
the most radical advance ever known in the
shoe industry, we have decided to inaug-
urate sale of mems shoes that will give
everybody an opportunity to supply their
needs at prices within easy reach. When
YOU stop to consider that shoe prices have
advanced 1870 and more in the best lines OF
mems shoes for spring, you will readily APP
preciate what such a sale as this will mean
In spite of this advance in the wholesale cost
of shoes for next season. we are going to
place on sale our entire stock of mems shoes
at big reductions from the present retail
prices.
We hope that the men of the tri-cities will
take advantage of this opportunity for it is
only because we have the good fortune to
own thousands of pairs of mems shoes
based on past seasons cost that we can offer
such an opportunity as this. We wish to say
that every pair of shoes in this sale is up to
the minute in style, the best known lines,
finest feathers and everything that good
shoes should be.
We could hold every pair Of shoes in this
sale and sell them the coming season and
next fall at advances of 1870 but we prefer
to adhere to the M. & X. policy of sharing
with their customers the benefits of their
foresight in purchases and where we save
by having placed tremendous orders at the
right time, we intend that our customers
should likewise save.
Tomorrow we start the biggest sale of mems
shoes that will be announced in long time
to come.
