SHOE NE IVS. BRIDGEPOBT. Conn., May 25, 1891. The weather to-day: Fair, slightly warmer, [southerly winds. My shoes are honest; my dealing liberal; prices fixed. I know there are people that think that three so good things must be paid for; that, there- fore, prices are high. I want to say that one dis— advantage Of having fixed prices is that they have got to be fair if not low; for, if high, they cannot be dropped to suit the occasion. My shoes are honest; my dealing liberal; prices fair if not low; sometimes they are very low ; as now, for example, on many sorts of shoes; not all. ‘ If I could get this advertise- ment understood I never should need to print another.
