With most of people any kind of cheap shoes will do for the summer, but for the cold, wet sloppy winter the best shoes are needed. - In recommending our stock of Shoes to the public, we refer to those who have bought Shoes from us in the past. Every year since we have handled the Black Bottom H. C. Gbdman Shoes for Ladies' and Children our sales have increased, thus stamping the public's approval on them. How refreshing it is for a customer to come into the store and call for the Godman Shoes, "the same kind you spld me last-winter, they wear so well." And what is so attractive about these Godman Shoes they are no higher in price than the cheap, shoddy stuff that you usu ally find on the market. In short, an examination of our Shoe stock will prove that it is the the largest stock of Men's, Ladies', Children's and Misses' Shoes to be found in the town and every pair of them will give you honest, satisfactory wear. If they don't we satisfy you. Buy where you can get the cheapest and the best and you will buy from us.
