.. r/xnfc/TlMjlOijnM A Big Selling of Men’s Semi Dress Shoes Priced at $2.98 and $3.98 Now these shoes are not made for the man who cares for a big lot of style, on the contrary, they’re made for the man who wants to be conservative and buy his shoes for a less price. • Selling these shoes at a less price, doesn't mean that they’re old and shop worn, pointed toe shoes, —just the opposite. These shoes are made over the latest of toes, nature toes, and French toes, and while they’re not just the best of leathers, they’re REAL GOOD shoes at the price. Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller
