We will do the rest, and we will do it well The oldest inhabitant never saw shoes selling at such Low Prices as we shall sell them during this sale. It's like selling the shoe strings and throwing in the shoes. It's a shoe revelation. We have stacks of men's fine hand sewed, bench made, shoes that wc formerly sold at $3 to $6.50 a pair. Wc have divided these shoes into three lots and cut the prices to $3.00, $4.00. Among the shoes wc shall sell at $1.50 arc, patent leathers, vici kid and genuine kan garoo, the cheapest in the lot sold for $3, and most of them sold from $4.85 to $0.50. The toes of most of these shoes are just a little narrower, and in some instances a little wider than the popular fancy seems to desire, but the prices will make them quite the thing. Men's Shoes for $1.50 Reduced from $6.50. in ! r-i if i You're the Winner and We're the Loser. f We will forfeit One Trousand Dollars if we fail to produce the shoes this ad calls for.
