HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
To j. & ]. Slater on their
Gold Rush Anniversary this
month. Since 1894 the firm
has been in the shoe business.
Through the years the COM
pany has led the shoe industry
in many ways over and above
just style. Important was
their being the first to put
real sizes in woman's shoes,
and then creating lasts so
women would wear their right
sizes. This Is something we
take so much for granted now
adays.
Many Of the designs Of Lar

dent Of the 1irm, were pur-
chased for displays ut the Met

along with the entire Slater
collection covering the 100 odd
years Of the firms's history.

it is brought to one side and
