celluloid and rubber collars are pric-
ed at IL 1-2 to 20 cents, while mems
underwear is listed at rs cents to
rs cents per garment. Ladies and
Misses fine shoes sold for $3.50 to
$3.50 per pair.
We remember that we printed ID
900 of those catalogues for Mr.. Boles
for $40, and it would cost more than
that to set the type today, while the
paper could not be bought for that
money. We received So per for our
work and that was when shift"
was ten hours, so taking everything
into consideration the prices are not
much out of line in comparison with
prices now.
And the digging up of that little
catalogue produced more than a
smile. 1t marks the difference be-
tween a young fellow "just starting
out" and the seasoned business man
of today.

In front of the booklet is a picture
of Mr.. Boles, and while he. looks
much the same today the youthful
appearance has vanished to a GER
tain extent.
1t was quite venture when Boles
Bought that little stock. He was not
long on money, but he knew how to
work, and how to please the people
Mrs. Boles was a faithful assistant,
and for long time they conducted
the business themselves. But the
business grew until a clerk was need
ed. and finally another, and then
more room was needed, so the loca-
ton across the street was secured.
But still the business grew until an
other room was taken and filled with
goods, and the force of clerks grew
until around a dozen are now en-
ployed to take care of the business
coming to the store.
Frank G. Boles believed a ghsin-
ess could be built on the basis of
courteous treatment, reasonable
prices and advertising and mighty
few papers have ever been printed
in Liberal which did not carry his
advertisement.
He has a great stock today and is
enjoying the fruits of many years
hard work which went into its build
ing.
And as the aown grows the two
rooms became crowded with goods
and it is not improbable that the
next few years will see even a great
err expansion of business, and he may
have to go upstairs for more room.
He has the confidence of the people
of the territory and business with
this asset cannot help but grow.

samples a few days ago we unearth-
ed one of those catalogues, and il
not only produced smile among
the office force, but drew a broad
grin from Mr.. Boles and his clerks.
The styles as they existed at time
look comical today. The women us
ed to illustrate the suits seemed to
have waists like wasps, while only
the tips of their toes appear be-
meath the wide flowing skirts. And
no matter how beautiful their necks
might be the public had no way of
knowing, for the high collars way
up round their ears, allowed no
suggestion of charm.
And such hats: Anyone wearing
lone Of them down the street to-
day would attract as much attention
as a circus parade.
A corset ad announces the latest
styles in corsets and horrors! None
today would believe that woman
could be found who could wear one
of the things. illustrated.
The styles in hosiery have chang
ed much, and in the mems section is
shown one of those shirts we used
to refer to as "hard boiled" with
an immense stiff bosom and worn at
the present time by Jiggs when he
accompanies Maggie on a "whirl
around the social circle"
Shoes Delightful styles are as
sured by the advertisement opposite
the picture of the horrible things
called by that name. The ladies
shoes of that time look more like the
"every day" shoes now worn by men,
but the society bellies of that year
no doubt went into exactly over the
perfectly lovely styles" just as they
do now over the latest Dorothy Dodd
creation in the Boles store.
The prices, too are comical. Suit
ings are quoted at so to $3.50 per
yard, shirt waists trimmed, pleated,
embroidered sold for CSC to Sc.
skirts were SO to $14, suits S. to SIS
corsets so cents to $3.50, mems shirts

About twelve years ago when
Frank G. Boles purchased the Liberal
Cash Store which was located in the
building now occupied by the Leader
