The 0PA Odd Lot Release Of some
four million pairs of mems and women's
shoes in the oddlot and broken siss
groups has been extended another week.
it was stated this week by W. Z. Hol-
comb, District Director.
originally slated to be held by the
nations shoe dealers from February 10
through March 3, the sale has been ex-
tended through March 10 because trans
portation tie-ups slowed inter-dealer
shipments prior to the opening date of
the clearance.
Designed primarily to utilize all ex-
listing footwear and get these shoes on
the feet of men and women, rather than
keep them on the shelves of stores, the
sale offers dealers the opportunity to
clear out these specified lines at re-
duced prices, without requiring ration
stamps.
