Four Dollars a Day An elderly gentleman was induced by a mutual friend of ours to buy a pair of Cushion Comfort Shoes. He had extremely sore feet and had tried all kinds of shoes without much relief and had little faith that any kind of shoes would do him any good. After a week’s wear he dropped into our store and told us that these shoes were worth “four dollars a day” instead of $4.00 per pair. CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE. AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG SHOE

It is all paint and true paint. 2. It is strongest, and goes-farther-est paint 3. It is full measure. Because these three things are true, Devoe Lead-and-Zinc Paint takes least ’ gallons for the job; looks best all the time; lasts longer. There is no such argument for any other paint; there is no other such paint; the man who uses Devoe gels the best he can get in paint. Get our booklet about it. THE BROflf STORE A M.
