HURRAH FOR mm
You all know 8hoes went powerful up in price
last Fall The'-Trust" had them by the heel,
but the people kicked so much that they were
compelled to let loose. To make a long story
short, Shoes have "drapped," and we struck while
the iron was hot and bought, by actual count,
2,486 pairs, which, you know, m a good many
Shoes ; but we know lots of our friends sie near
ly bare-footed, and vre propose to Shoe them at a
small cost, Now, friends, we want your trade on
Shoes.
