and yet we are compelled to close our store at 6 o'clock,
because we do not have sufficient shoes to sell.
We ask you to co-operate with us and shop during the day.
If we do not have your size, have
patience until we are able
to secure your size.

Our stock is 40% less than a year ago, which is responsible
for this scarcity of sizes in all shoe stores.
