In footwear shop.-, quantities of .summer goods hi the shape of white canvas boots and shoes are. opposed for sale, there is no stamp on tho soles to indicate that the soles are cardboard covered with leather, and yet such is tbo fact, as 1 have found out to nty sorrow. ProfitK arc huge enough, without adding to the plunder -- I .nn, rhe.. SQf ABE DEAL.
