So we have made some important changes in our building— Keeping Step With within and without. We feel it’s a tribute to our farsightedness that this building —planned and built a third of a century ago—is still out- standing in its adaptability for the business needs for which it was erected. The present chang'es were made to increase facility —-give you a better entrance—-make the expanse of windows more practical for the display of merchandise, and add a bit of room to the ground floor. This has been done in response to the demands of a growing business. But it was also promted by the progressiveness which has always characterized our policy—to make you comfort~ able in your shopping here—and convenient in serving you. Anything that helps us to help you is well worth what it costs. You'll come now to a still better store. Everything is ready—the improvements completed—the new Fall and Winter stocks in place.

Their little feet can only be as free and comfortable as the soles of their shoes allow them to be. That’s why their feet will be happier and healthier if their shoes have Spartan Leather Soles. Spartanis an entirely different leather that is damp proof, slip proof and long wearing. But fir& and foremogt, it is a more pliant, flexible leather that responds indtantly to every movement of little foot bones. It gives their feet a new, healthier freedom and comfort they've never known before. It gives them the strong and vigorous. chance to grow Because Spartan prevents damp feet and bad falls on slippery pavements, it safeguards the present, as well as the future health and comfort of your children’s feet. And you'll find that younggers will get longer wear out of Spartan Soles. GRATON & KNIGHT COMPANY Worcester, Mass: Most quality department stores and shoe shops are now sell ing Spartan Soled shoes in various makes, styles and prices. Genuine Spartan Soles have spots of gold tattooed into the leather, Note—The gold spots have only been recently adopted so that at present many stores may have Spartan led Shoes without this identification. The dealers word, however will protect you. SPARTA barefoot fre to little feet
