1“ I Instead of a I Rubber Boot I A lot of men are buying our High-top Duck Rub- H ber Shoes instead of a rubber boot. These ans- H wer the same purpose and are much lighter, They have leather insoles and don’t draw on the bottom of the foot like a rubber boot. If you’ve kJ got to wade the mud and don’t like rubber boots || try a pair of these. I Charlie Voglewede b THE SHOE SELLER On The West Side Os The Street
