Narrator: One day, she discovered Shoemaker's Warehouse: 30-60% off retail on brand-name, in-season shoes, purses, belts and accessories. Magically, her clodhoppers became charming, delicate footsies. And another prince came to call...

Prince: What lovely feet you have, m'lady. Must be Shoemaker's Warehouse.

Princess: (delighted) How didst thou know?

Prince: I shop there as well.

Princess: (disgusted) Great! A cross-dresser! Just my luck...

Prince: No! Shoemaker's Warehouse carries shoes for princes as well. (Then sadly) Especially princes with feet like royal barges.

Princess: (relieved and delighted once again) Thou, too? At last, I have found my love!

Prince: (matter-of-factly) On one condition. Our shoes stay on.

Princess: Deal.

(Then trailing off..)

Prince: I've heard about your boats...

Princess: Oh yeah, Mr. "Prince of Clubs"?

Narrator: Shoemaker's Warehouse. In Midtown, on Amsterdam Avenue, and coming soon to Marietta. Open Friday and Saturday 10-7, Sunday 1-6. Call 987-6543 for directions. Shoemaker's Warehouse - for the perfect pair. And that's no fairy tale.
