A. E. STEELE SHOE CO.
A fact not known to many men and
women is that the average ihoe ha*
over sixty-two different part* to it,
. any »n • of which can be cheapened to
maki- a price, and none judged ex
cept by the highest experts in shoe
makinr Now the question ia, if you
are starting out to buy a pair of shoes
trhere would you go? The anawer ia
ample enough: if you are not a judge
of leather you should know the mer
chant' with whom you are dealing.
The way to judge goods is by the man
who sella them. Among the dependa
ble store i of Mount Airy ia that of the
4- E. Steele Shoe Co., the home of
"better shoea." This house deals in
» shoes that will give service; shoes
that will enable you to put your beat
foot foremost in business, society and
elsewhere. No man or woman should
abuse the feet; they are the main
spring of the body. If you would fol
low your feet there ia little conjecture
but that they would lead you straight
to Steele's Shoe Store where will be
found one of the largest, beat assort
ed and moat varied lmes of shoes In
Western North Carolina; shoes for
Men, women and children; shoes for
the farmer, business man, society man
or woman. There is the home of the
famous Forbush shoes for men, I-a
France shoes for women and the "Bill
< ikin" ohoes for children. A large
and beautiful line of men's hats also
[ handled in connection,. The stock is
"reasonably priced, too. And like his
goods, Mr. Steele is dependable in
all their transactions and representa
tions. If you wear shoes this «iore
should claim your attention and get
your trade.

There is not a better county in the
State in which to live than Surry.
Every advantage possible is offered—
high altitude, healthful climate, pure
water, fertile lands and unlimited na
tural resource.- from which to <lraw.
The Southern railway traverses it,
thus affording excellent railroad fa
cilities, connecting with the main
lines at Winston-Salem. There was
never a better time to buy real estate
than now. And there is no better
•Cent to buy it from than Mr. C. C.
Hutchens. Mr. Hutchens possesses ex
perience, sound judgement and re
( liability. He is a product of the
feounty, having been born and reared
i en • farm in Surry county. He has
naturally "frown up with the com
munity." He knows the value of farm
' lands, and he knows which section is
preferable and safer as an investment,
He has made a phenominal success o<
the real estate bi.sinesa in the last
itw years, being the medium by which
thousands of dollars have changed
. hands. There are few men in the
business who have the^faculty of ef
fecting aalee and giving absolute sat
isfaction to both parties—the pur
f. efcasir and seller. It is an art—a gift
,. cbepled with fair and straight for
ward dealings. Not alone doe* Mr
Kiitchens deal In Surry county pro
perty, tart he has made many success
