Likes Our Idea, • The Exeter Advocate speaks Editor- iaily as follows:—'Clinton has ' purchas- ed ten cars of soft coal to be used if herd coal is not procurable, Six cars have already arrived and two can's have been sold. This is along the line of the advice given by the fuel controller and we imagine the town council of Exeter Would be wise to lay in a re- serve supply. Why not? T.E WFFERECE IN SHOES.! H E Difference between the sort of shoes we sell and the "Other Sort" will be perfectly apparent to any- one who compares our "GOOD SHOES" with "Just Shoes!" Our Better Shoes! Our Shoes are built up to a standard and Not Down to a Price!. The result is that our shoes are more econ- omical than uncertain Shoes. They wear so much longer and look so much better than "Bargain Shoes," that they are a Better Investment Dollar for Dollar, than any shoes which sell for less money. The true test of Shoe value is not the First Cost, but the final coat --- not what they post Per Pair, but what they per cost Year. It is upon this supple test of value that the successful growth of our Shoe Business is based. � u �,? e N THE PRACTICAL SHOEIVIAN Paper Space Means- Money Kindly remember that when a pap- er gives away its advertising space it is just the 'same as a grocer snaking presents of tea and sugar.
