HOW MUCH ARE WORK SHOES GOING TO COST THIS SPRING. We are asked this question many times daily and we take it lor granted that a lot of people are interested. Our work shoes will be most reasonably priced, in fact-we are in a position to sell work shoes at prices less than the manufacturers are asking for the same shoes today. \V HY .* Because most of our work shoes were bought on last September’s market, just betol e the wave of extreme high prices came in. We are proud o! this loresight and we are going to give our customers the benefit. TAKE A LOOK Save on Shoes \ • Ghaflie VogleWede
