Everyone knows that this has been one of the most unusual years in the merchantile world, however we have been very lucky.
While good* have been hign in price, and we firmly believe they are going much higher, and very hard to get. Sill me have a
most complete line in all d-.-p irtments. We bought or contracted for over 90 per cent of our Spring Goods some six to eight
months ago. AT THAT TIME merchandise was fully 40 per cent cheaper than it is on today's market, and following our
#
usual policy, we arc most positively going to sell all goods on a bo.-,is of what they COSt US* In other words, not how
h'^h, but HOW CHEAP we can sell goods and still make a living. That will be our creed and we expect to stand by it
First, Last and All the Time.
Men's Women and Children's
Shoes and Slippers
We carry a full line of the celebrated E. P. Reid Co.

leather (a full line of popular Oxfoid*) in a very at-
tractive line of prices, from Ki.uO to ST.50 a pair.

We are showing all kinds of children's slippers and a
most comph-te line from soft soles for infants to the
most nobby styles for children and growing girls. We
e.irrv two specialty lines in this department, the fam-
ous Hainmouion A: Co. and Roher .V: Co. Shoes and
Slippers for children.
A POINTER—We can sell you many pair of shoes at
less ilian wholesale prices on today's market.
PATRIOTISM
Patriotism in merchandizing as in other
walks of life, iH, as we see it, to do your
duty to your fellowman and to your coun-
try.'
To l>e fair with your customer and firm in
your convictions. «
To In- willing to do your hit for your coun-
try and your neighbor in whatever way is
best.
To be liberal with your worldv goods, weth-
er large or small, in the termination of this
awful war for democracy and for right.
And above all else to stand "six feet square"
for our noble president and the good old
U. S. A.
Clothing and Gent's Furnishings

A Timely Hint About Staple Dry Goods
To the casual observer staple goods seem to be high, still did you know it
is an actual fact that we are selling many staple goods at much less than the
mill price of today. Did you also know that many classes of staple dry
goods are entirely withdrawn from the market. Allow us to make this sug-
gestion, buy at least all your needs for your immediate wants. Remember
what we have said, and six months from today see if we are not giving you
good advise.
