Save Fruit Stones nnd Xnl Shells.
Tho War Department has asked the

pits, stones nnd nut shells. Tho fol

Materials are not all! Consider la
bor! It requires the labor of 300
people and 110 machines to produce
a woman's shoe, ready to wear. You
know the scarcity of Jabor and how
high-priced it is.
I't requires 135 separate and distinct
operations to make one shoe 270

means to make a fine shoe a Queen

Manufacturers and merchants have
used brains, skill, scientific methods
and honesty in production.
You get more for your money in
shoes than any other' article of
wearing ttpparel. Compare the wear
and hard knocks given to shoes,
with any other article. Consider the
protection, the comfort and satis
faction you get from your shoes.
Shoes are really the cheapest article
in your wardrobe, when you consid
er all these things.
The shoes of 25 years ago, made as
they were made then, would cost
many times the prices of today.
Improved machinery, scientific
methods and standardization have
kept prices of shoes within reason
able bounds.
The conservation policy of manu
facturers has kept prices from go

fall and winter.
Queen Quality shoes, represent a
solid standard of value, nationally
