C. — Your guess on the future is as good as ours. This WE know though, the price on light native cowhides, (the market index on hides) averaged $10.50 per hundred pounds for the week of August 25th, 1939, while on Septem ber 25th, they were selling for $16.50 per hundred weight on the Chicago market. This represents a 57% advance. Leather makes up about 50% of the total cost of our shoes and gloves. On a today’s replacement basis, considering the leather alone, our prices would need be advanced more than 28%. Our prices were advanced Monday, September 25th, by a flat 10%. All our shoes' were bought before any advance in the cost of leather or any other advance in cost. And we are giving our cus tomers the benefit of our fortunate purchase. OUR PRICES HAVE NOT BEEN RAISED. COME IN AND HAVE YOUR SHOES FITTED BY X-RAY BY MEN THAT KNOW HOW. WE FIT THE FEET AND SELL THE SHOES. WE HAVE THE SHOES FOR YOU AND YOU WILL SAVE MONEY BY BUYING YOUR FALL AND WINTER SHOES FROM US NOW. GALLANT -BELK COMPANY Home Of Better Values ■ * « ( ,r< GREENWOOD, S. C. - VW vmfirTr Mr. L. M.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS: You, of course, know of the rapid and drastic changes in the current leather and other markets. Upper h athers of all kinds have been advanced from four to six cents a foot, kid an d sheep linings from three to four cents a foot, outsoles from four to five cents a pair and insoles propor tionately. We cannot buy a foot of leather at old prices and are offered only limited quantities at the above advance for immediate use.
