For example when a shoe hurts, the wear er can not walk true. Therefore, undue strain is felt at certain points and weight of the wearer is not properly distributed. Not balanced or equalized. Consequently this pressure at a given point breaks the upper. Geisberg's shoes are fitted properly, as well as well-balanced and retain their original grace to the very, very end. Geisberg Bros. Shoe Co. Under Masonic Temple, Shoes that Satisfy. OPENING DATE S?iur?^y, Oct* VTtln Kress Stores, Kress Merchandise.

Owing to the European war the mines are closed for an indefinite period, all the diamond cutting es tablishments in Europe are shut down, and no dia monds, either rough or cut, are being imported into this country.
