New Prices on Shoes AT B. N. Fendig’s Shoe Store Opera House Block * - — This store, beginning Oct 15, will offer the New Fall and Winter Shoes * for Men, Women and Children at Reduced Prices. The leather goods market is such that we have repriced our complete line, basing our new prices on the present low market values. This effects a saving to the consumer and a loss to us of from 10 to 30 per cent. We make these radical cuts in price in keeping with our decision to take our loss in one large bitter dose rather than occasional reductions. These reductions anticipate prices and conditions which we hope will prevail next Spring, therefore we feel that you can safely buy your Fall needs at these greatly reduced prices. ~ . This price reduction follows our general policy of keeping our price below competitive lines of equal quality and giving our customers the benefit of our advantageous purchasesand changing market conditions This Is Not a Shoe Sale but the continuation of a permanent policy.
