one who compares our "GOOD SHOES" with "Just

Our Better Shoes !
Our Shoes are built up to a standard'and Not Down

They wear so miich longer and look so much better
than "Bargain Shoes,", that they are a Better Investment
Dollar for Dollar, than any shoes which sell for leas
Money.
The true test of Shoe value is not the First Cost, but
the final cost not what they cost Per Pair, but what
they cost per Year. It is Capon this simple test of value
that the successful growth of ow Shoe Business is based.

New One -Cent Coin

The Minister of Finance is consider-

copper coin. The present 'one -cent
piece, while of excellent design, is of
so large size as to make it inconven-
ient to carry more than two or three
in the pocket. The new coin will be
slightly larger and slightly thicker than
a ten -cent piece, so as to be easily
distinguishable to the touch. It will
take some time to have the die made,
and the coins issued for circulation.
