At The Big Sale We are having a better trade this week than we expected on the account of the bad weather. People are coming a good wa > s to take advantage of our reductions. This is the last week. One week from today we will be moved into our new store. We don’t want to move a pair of shoes or rubbers that we can sell at a low price. We want to have every thing new in the new store. Better come this week. Charlie Voglewede THE SHOE SELLER
