All The Fun Os Going Barefooted Without The Bumps And Scratches K We long ago came to the conclusion that it did not pay us Jo sell trashy barefoot sandals and it did not pay you to buy them. We are selling nothing but the snug fitting Kreider line and you can depend on Kreider’s barefoots wearing just like Kreider’s shoes. Dependable Always. Charlie Voglewede AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG SHOE

ginal. This Sunday school has made considerable development during the last few months and at present stands well in the front ranks of the Sunday school In the communities about Decatur.
