O?E Shoe Department is full of good Shoes for men and | boys, and you know when we say good Shoes we mean Shoes that will give entire satisfaction to the wearer ; if not, your money back. We aro very particular when we buy our Shoes, for we know how often the public has been imposed upon. All of our Shoes are bought direct from the manufacturer, and by that means we get inside prices. It takes the Spot Cash, but as we sell for CaBh we can pay Cash. It Pays Us to Buy for Cash, and it'll Pay You ! Most Shoe dealers buy from jobbers so as to get time. That's one reason we can sell you a better Shoe for the same money than Credit Stores, and another is they have to ask more so as to make up those losses by bad debts. Shoe prices here begin at $1.50 and end at $3.50. At $1.50 We can give you a weil made, solid leather, Satin Calf Shoe, the kind Credit Stores ask you $1.75 for. At $2.00 We have a black Viet Kid Shoe that all Shoe wearers should get acquainted with ; we believe it's the best value ever -offered you for $2.00. Credit Stores would make a big blow if they sold one as good for $2.50. That's mighty strong talk, especially for tts, tat it takes strong talk when it comes to this Shoe-it'll stand it. Our $2.50 Shoes ?ome in box calf, vici kid and patent leather. Eaoh Shoe in this line is a genuine English or Goodyear welt. If you fcave been elsewhere to look you'll think we made a mistake and priced this line 50e. too low. They do compare most favora bly with most Credit Store $3.00 Shoes. $3.50 gives you our best Shoes, and as good aB most deal ers' brag Shoes at $4.00. These are Keith's Konqueror $3.50 Shoes. We have them in the following leathers : box calf, patent vici, vlei kid, regent kid, enamel calf and velour calf, The new styles just in. Come in and see our Shoes. ANDERSON, S. C.
