OF . SHOES.
The pair of shoes to a man who has to provide for a moderately large family is a mighty big item and his pur
chases for a ear anaount to a considerable sum. A difference in price of from 10 to 16 per eent. means a large saving to
him and he should be able to take advantage of all chances in this way.
tlis first plan is to pay cash, His next move is to pick out the place handling good quality because poor goods are
dear at any price Our Shoe department is just sucla a place, We are carrying the best goods we can buy and our
prices are not equalled by other dealers. We save $1000 a year in expenses compared to the old way of doing business
and there is no excuse for us selling a little cheaper. Nothing succeeds like success, and the success of our Shoo depart-
ment is an evident fact te all hu)ers. We say thou our goods are not equalled iu price by any dealer in the west, and
wo are prepared to back it up.

will have somewhat to do with in-
ducing him to go West. The pro-
vince, Mr. Henry says, will boom
