It’s A Fact That Good Shoes Cost Money, / Il’s a fact that we wish that they could be sold for less. H’s a fact that we made more money when shoes were sold for low prices. Il’s our ambition to make money. Every business wants to. But—it’s not our ambition to make our money out of a few sales. We want a lot of sales—and a lot of sales can only be had by increasing the number of our customers. That’s why you'll find our shoes sold al such reasonable prices. We sell two pairs while the other fellows sell one. Charlie Voglewede "■ Fils Feet. <ft 4if

J '(7; <► - ( _—*<***“ \ / -5 THREE CLEANERS IN ONE Some people go over their rugs with a vacuum cleaner. Next they use a broom for clinging litter. And they feel they must have their rug beaten every so often. Other people “Just run The Hoover over.” Their rugs are always “clean to the roots.” The nap is kept upstanding. Colorings always look bright. The rugs wear years longer. Certainly it is better to combine three cleaning operations in one as only The Hoover does, which is one secret of its largest sale.
