Moses had been trading here right along until July, when he got a job in the country and he went out to husk pumpkins and shoo chickens and do other heavy work. Moses came to town last Saturday and he wandered in to look at a pair of boots. ‘‘Say, boss, I done heerd dat you all’s done rise on yourboots Nowif youall kan’t sell me ’nother pair ob boots like I done got hyar for tree dollahs last winter we kant trade. Moses had heard that we had raised our boots. So we did. We raised them one shelf higher. We didn’t Raise the Price. We lowered them a trifle. While boots are higher they are lower. We sold Moses a better boot for $2.50 than we soid him for$3.00 last year. Don’t think we’ve ‘raised our boots’ as Moses did. Some other fellow may have raised his that way, but we didn’t. We just made it handier for you to trade with us that’s all. Try our Moses $2.50 - 3 3 Small Fire and Bad Accident.
