For Meu, Women, Boys, Girls and (he Lillie Folks

I t is tiie height of wasteful­ness to buy poor shoes in order to save money but when you can b u y good and carefully examined shoes at the same price, and often less, than you

'■ - pay elsewhere for the poorkind, it is a distinct saving to buy at Baker’s. We never go near factories tha t m ake questionable shoes; for you shall- never buy aii unworthy shoe at our store, no m atter how lit­tle you pay for it. T liat is why it is always safe to save on shoes you-buy at Baker’s, as hundreds in this vicinity know

Buy at Baker’s and save m onty” ' - v '
