Exclusive Shoe
Store.
and Hosiery
An exclusive shoe and hosiery store is.
something that has heretofore been con-
fined to large cities. However, Messrs.
John Williams and Wm. Peterson open-
ed such a store in the Stankiewicz build-
ing in Halletsville and they are going to
make it to the interest of every body
that wears shoes and stockings to buy
there. The stock was bought before
the rise in leather, was bought direct
from the factory for cash and it is there-
fore but reasonable to presume that they
can fit you out better and for less money
| than any other house in the city. Go
I there and examine their goods, whether
j you want to buv or not, and you will
; surely convince yourself that it pays to
buy your shoes and hosiery at a store
