A shoe that would not be full worth for the money paid, this policy seems to have paid us. OUR business has grown and is still growing and we have the good will even of our competitors.

Lots of people have been attracted to such stores by various sensational devices only to regret having gone. Of the shoes they sell we might say: "One pair cures."
