The power to think dis- ' tinguishes man from the lower animals. A flock of sheep doesn’t think—it fol- ' lows the bell-wether whether it’s to the fold or to the slaughter house. T In these days of shortened incomes everyone must use his head—and Think. ' A Thinking Person won’t continue buying high-priced goods just from habit i contracted in the days when money came easily. ‘ J More Thinking Persons arc finding every day that they can Save Money Buying Shoes Here. k , ' 3 ■ 1 Charlie Voglewede I
