Board Member’s Tenure of Office.

county official he is compelled to so
change his occupation or place or
residence that it is impossible for him
to continue to serve upon the ex
emption Board, it is possible that be

^ 11 But find it hard to make both ends meek There never was a time in my life when a gj I
^ j': dollar bought—so—as little as it does, today. I have been asked to do my share in the | f
| |U National wide Campaign of Saving, and I’M DOING IT. I have been asked to eat less gJ|
jfj wheat, meat and su^ar, and PM DOING IT. I have been asked to wear my old clothes, gj
j 1 save my money, and back the Government with every dollar I can, and I’M DOING IT. jj|
I But I Must Have Help (
Too, If I am to work my best and do what is asked, I must
sell my good shoes. A poorly shod man can’t do a good day’s
work.
There are shoes made under good conditions for the
worker that give the wear I need, and are sold at prices I can
afford. They are
Peters’ Black Diamond Shoes
Remember that we workers are the great mass of the
j buying public, and more than ever before, must watch what
' we PAY and what we GET for shoes.
“Team Work” is the big national need. If you want to
help me save money for other things; if you want my trade;
wear the shoes I sell, and you will find a reason why you can
do better and get more service'out of our line of Shoes, by
confining your purchase to our line, than by dividing your
buying. The most successful shoe men buy one good line and
stick to it.
A pair of shoes for every member of the family. Always
look for the “BLACK DIAMOND” and you will find them
solid leather, combined with good looks.
