have been reduced by most
of the manufacturers an
average of $50 or about SOC
per pair on the better grades
of mems and women's shoes.
We have gone much further
and reduced our prices over
1910 on the average. In 9th
er words we have marked
our lines for Fall on margin
of profit so small as to bare
ly cover the expense of
handling and selling. We do
not know frankly how much
greater reduction may be in
effect for next Spring. This
we do know while leather Of
certain kinds is cheaper and
more plentiful, labor has not
been reduced, one penny and
itcosts to-day three times
what it used to make a pair
of shoes. Now we have in
stock 200 pair of mems fine
Oxfords, mainly Crossett &,
Leonard, Shaw & Dean
make. We make a final Of
fer on these which we are
satisfied is much lower than
you can buy the same makes
for next Spring. We are so
sure OF this that we make
this plain proposition-buy
a pair of these Oxfords at
these prices, wear them, if
you wish during the next two
months of Oxfords wealth
er, and if next Springs
prices are lower than the
prices here quoted, we will
give you a new pair of the
same make next Spring,
without cost or obligation Of
any kind to you.

animals frequented shadows at the mouths
of rivers in herds, and while feeding they
drove before them their young, to protect
the latter from danger. So tame were
they that one could stroke their backs with
out any objection on their part. Un-
fortunately their flesh was good to eat,
resembling beef. Whalers got in the way
of depending upon them for stores of fresh
meat; and so, in the natural course of
