Nothing heralds the return to school like a new pair of shoes. On this day in 1889, readers learned that for fit, low price and durability, Bradley & Babb’s school shoes were the best for children’s wear. Always-low prices started at 60 cents, 75 cents, 85 cents, $1 and so on. Find the footwear opposite the post office.
