President Tilden's Address
The address Of President Tilden con.
tanned n wealth of advice and good
sense. In part it was as, follows: This
splendid exhibit of footwear, made pos
sible by manufacturers, wholesalers
and statesmen, is, without doubt, the
finest and bat ever shown in this vicin-
ity and merits your careful attention
and patronage. From what your secre-
tary and I could learn at Milwaukee,
we are of the opinion that present shoe
prices are as low as they can be under
present conditions, and If you have not,
already placed your orders for spring,
we frankly advise you to buy now.
tThe past few months has been
irving period for retailers as well as
manufacturers and wholesalers in all
lines of merchandise, and many I'M
pleasant things have arisen TO disturb
the pleasant relationships existing be
tween them. It is time for us to forget
these differences, look to the future
and do our share in establishing the
good will and confidence of years
gone by.
"On the whole, the past year has
been a very prosperous one for this as
ISOLATION. We have made net gain OF
20 members since our last meeting,
making a total membership of 81, and
our treasury made a slight gain"
