GOING FAST lAST evening I advertised Boys Gun Metal, Box calf and kid shoes at a dollar and y half and we’ve had a lot of boys here today to be fitted. These shoes are all new goods, the latest styles of toes and tips, not a pair of shop worn or out of style shoes in the lot. If your boy needs an extra pair for summer wear and to start to school in the fall, you’d better see them. They are going fast. 2 1-2 to 51-2 Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller
