Workers Union Holiday," an Icelandic

Military shoes
It is obvious our military shoe
selection has not been too good. We
have two large orders outstanding
that should be received in August.
We have adjusted our stock levels to
meet the very large demand for black
uniform shoes expected in the future.

And one way to celebrate this August
occasion is to pop over to the Navy

you'll become as famous as the Earl
of Sandwich, but it's a possibility.

while we install the shelving.
