I think Hemmingway is referring to a baby that died at birth. I think the parents are selling the shoes of the dead baby. I think it has a negative connotation to it, but I also think that having only six words is very effective because it can be taken in many different perspectives.

I agree with Cassie on this because although it could signify something else, the bluntness behind the six words and punctuation makes the reader think of something more pessimistic
