Principally because we have concentrated for years on footwear, and there is amazing virtue in concentration. Furthermore, we confine our merchandising activities to footwear exclusively the logical outcome being an unassailable reputation for absolute dependability in everything connected with footwear. Although the range and variety of our showing seem endless, it will be prudent in the face of the immense demand for practical gifts to lose no time in making selection if it is to be done without inconvenience. We append, for guidance, a few suggestions:
