You Can Do Better Work -when your feet are comfortable. Every man that is wearing my elk skin shows knows the comfort and ease for which these shoes are especially noted. A fellow said to me yesterday, “I’d wear your Elk skins if they did’nt wear half so long because Jthey are so easy”, They are the cheapest shoe you can buy because they outwear most any other make. Try a pair next time. $3.00 and a few styles at $3.50 Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller
