Great Glearin Sale
THE EVENT OF THE YEAR IN SHOE SELLING
Having purchased the stock of Boots and
Shoes from J. Button & Co., at a rate
on the dollar which will mean bargains to
all who take advantage of our Great
Clearing Sale which is now on, we invite
your inspection of the goods and feel sure
we can satisfy the wants of the community
in Footwear.
We bought these Shoes at such a discount
from wholesale prices that we can sell
them at prices away below what you have
been paying for Shoes.
It is the opportunity of the year to get
Boots and Shoes at little prices.
Come early, as first choice is always best.
