An Extraordinary Sale
Of All Summer vShoes
MEN S WOMEN S CHILDREN S
Our policy of quick stock renewals is what makes a sale of this
kind necessary, every season—about this time every year we find the ne
t cessity in a larger way. Fall shoes are coming in and wemust make
room for them, and this means faster selling, and faster selling means
lowering of prices. That’s the course —and the only course we have ever
found open, and we’re not going to look for any other way now.
Our Aim Is To Sell The Shoes
and the selling must be fast, and to make it so we are going to sacrifice
th9 “best sellers.” We have no slow sellers, but we are going to shove
\ forward the most desirable first—and the wise buyer will come and come
i early- ' - LLJUl'., - - .
