Bread Is Good
AND WE KNOW IT IS MADE OF THE BEST
THAT MONEY CAN BUY.
That's why we take such special pains witli our pro
ducts. We know that "Mother" does not hesitate at
price when baking bread for her loved ones, nnd so we
have tnken a lessen from Mother.
The purest and best materials that-money can buy go
into the baking of "Dickey's Krisp Krust" and "Dickey's
Home Made Bread."
Good flour, good shortening, good yeast, etc., plus the
scientific mixing and handling of the dough is what
makes our bread the jiourishing and delicious loaf it is
from day to day.
Ask your grocer to send you "Dickey's Krisp Krust," or

vogue.
The first complete
display of authentic
styles is now on our
shelves and featured
in our windows.
Here are the Regal patterns to suit the most
fastidious dressers in the great style centers.
These are, perhaps, just the kind you have
been looking for.
They make really a splendid assortment in
the new and wanted leathers, benched onthe
trimmest, most shapely lasts that we've seen.
We are glad to get Regal shoes,
this season especially for the kind
of leather the better trade wants is
hard to find now and is getting
scarcer.
About buying shoes now: The Regal Shoe
Company is unable to give us even a hint as to,
what prices will be next fall, except that they
will probably be higher.
