OUR Children's Shoes are made to fit growing1 feet
and not to mis-shape them. It's a crime to put
ill-fitting- Shoes on Children's feet their feet
can never grow straight and strong in ill fitting Shoes.
The correct shoe for children must be broad of
sole and broad of heel to allow for expanding feet.
Natural Shaped Shoes
We've nature shaped Shoes of pliable but durable
leathers, with or without spring heels. Strongly made
but not a bit clumsy. A correct size for every foot:
$1.00, $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50.
The shoe service of this Shoe Store is a matter
well worth considering. We know the exact show that
every foot should wear, young or old.

CIRCULAR LETTER.
We wish to explain to the public Our New Busi
ness Policy.
When we went into business five years ago last
January, our stock of goods was confined to a very few
lines and a very limited amount in each line. At first
our floor space was small and inadequate, but, as we
grew older in business our trade constantly increased
and we have been continually obtaining more room un
til now we have more than three times the floor space
we had at first. From time to time we have been add
ing new lines, and now we carry a much larger quan
tity of each class of goods than we had at first and can
furnish you with most any article you want in the line of
FURNITURE, HARDWARE, IMPLEMENTS,
BUGGIES, WAGONS, HARNESS, PAINTS, PUMPS,
PIPE, WINDMILLS, COOK STOVES,
RANGES, GASOLINE AND OIL STOVES, RANGES
All kinds of garden and field seeds, Standard
mowers and rakes, sweeps, stackers and many side
lines that belong to the above described lines, with the
repairs for each.
Our help is the best that money can buy, they are
very courteous gentlemen. J. W. Henderson is at the
head of the hardware deparrmcnt. M. J. Forbes will
be found at the head of the furniture department and
Robert Dean is the best man in the implement line.
Either of these gentlemen will be pleased to show you
through their respective lines whether you wish to buy
or not. Our sole aim will be when a customer enters
our store to examine our goods, to show a reliable and
up-to-date class of goods, such as we can absolutely
guarantee, and at a price that cannot be beaten by a
competitor in the same grade ot goods.
We wish to state here that we are very thankful
to our customers and friends for their liberal patronage
in the past, and we owe to them our success in busi
ness. We simply ask for a continuance of your trade
in the future- Yours truly,
WORKMAN & DERRYBERRY.
