II is July % today, and almost
half of our summer is over, and
with it the heat, although we
really can't complain when we
read the daily weather report
and hear what the Yankees are
in for up North.
All our shopping is necessarily
for the purpose of trying to find
Ne things you need to beat the
heat and get ready for Fall, and
today is no exception.
Did you 60 on a picnic or to
the beach yesterday? Hope you
had a fine time. We went shop
hopping down the Keys, and
items brought back were: a
slightly pink epidermis, two star
fish which are already roasting
on the lawn and quite FLAT" a
tummy full of roasted weiners
and baked beans. several big
crawfish speared on a reef, and
the memory of good friends and
a happy Sunday. That's the wish
for your memories too, and If
they differ slightly, hope they
are as fine.

n department much neglected
by shoppers at Pic'm Shoe
Store Is the one set aside for
the men because what with all
the beautiful ladies styles
shown in the windows il seems
10 most folks to be principally
q ladies' shoe store. Well
friends. that Is not the case.
pic'M has . great big complete
department for the Gents. and
Il you don't see II. ask for II.
and although I'm not a bettin'

Among the outstanding num-
bers I saw there today was a
Mems casual fabric sport OK
ford with crepe sole for only
Sl.ss. II was q honey and In
three colors. oatmeal. blue and
Brown. Made by Baico. known
for fine sports shoes.
They also stock all the hard
10 fit sizes In Officers white
shoes. the ever popular half
Wellington boots in black or
brown. and for all you Moicr
Cyclists. those fancy boots you
love TO dress up In.
With the season of storms
upon us. IL seems well TO men,
tion the genuine Bartner shoes
with the storm welt and the
raw cord sole. These shoes are
completely waterproof and
come In the high and low
styles. They are wonderful
work shoes with no wear out.
For tropical storms. drenehiaJ
rains. hurricanes end such. ]
prefer the saddle leather san
dals. You can walk along flood
ed streets without fear of cut
fling your feet through the
tough soles. and the warm
water can flow out the same
way ss II came In. Reminds me
al the barefoot boy with shoes
on. Well pic'M has these san
dais for men as well as women.
and water doesn't hurt them a
biz.
