REES-JONES' BOOT AND SHOE STORES.

There are hundreds upon hundreds or 'peopie in Wanganui town and coi-ntry districts who are prepared to admit that the Rees-Jones' boot and shoe emporiums, in the Avenue, has been instrumental in saving manypounds in household expenditure, tfears ago this firm found that its consideration for the masses by providing quality footwear at the lowest possible price, received its due reward in the form of a large connection, which is being steadily increased as the bargains in boots and shoes become more widely known. The advance in the price of footwear, owing to the increased price of leather, and the cost of production, make it necessary for parents to buy in the cheapesr market when, of course, cheapness is combined with quality, and it is here that Rees-Jones come,, in. Furthermore, the stock- of boots and shoes for men. women and children is so extensive and varied that the store compares more than favourably with those in some of our cities. To make matters complete there is such a good staff of courteous and "nothing is too much trouble" class of assistants that patrons find it a pler.sure to patronise the stores.
