BOOTS *Am SHOES. WHO SAYS HIGH PRICES? Buy your footwear at the Melbourne's Great Rebuilding Sale, and you need not pay more than you did ia year or two years ago, and your savings will be greater than ever. Undoubtedly the price of raw material has advanced, but our buying organisation—ever on the qui vive—anticipated the rise, and contracts were placed at the old iprices by our manager when in England, which w.ill carry us well on to the end of 1910. Most stores—were they in the happy position we're in—would sell at advanced rates —fully 20 ,per cent. —and pocket the extra profit. But that is not the policy of the Melbourne. We sell as we buy. Take as an example our famous 16s 9d welted iboots for men. Here is a boot that other stores sold tat 255. 'Now put on an advance of 20 per cent. This, you will see, brings the price up to 30s. Had we to do the same thing with our famous 10s 9d line we'd have to ask you 20s for it. But we're not doing it. That i 3 the .point. We're still selling at old prices; hence the increased savings above mentioned.—Advt.
