HAFLICH & MORRISSEY 125 North 2nd Street Decatur, Indiana August 20, 1959 All Our Customers, Decatur Trading Area The Fall School opening time is here and our selection of .. famous Buster Brown Shoes for boys and girls is the best ever for Quality and Fit. Now that only leaves "Foot Care” directly j . to us here at /laflich & Morrissey Shoe Store. J Foot care authorities believe that often, without realizing it, a parent's lack of understanding about the child's true shoe needs leads to foot defects before he has reached the age of ten. The National Shoe Institute has compiled a list of DO’S and DON'TS in buying children’s shoes, based on years of study. 1. DO choose a store which makes a specialty of fitting children. 2. DO establish a relationship with a particular salesman. Continuity of contact gives him a picture of your child’s walking habits, his rate of growth, and ijis progressive needs. He sees many children during a day and can often spot foot trouble early enough to suggest you see a doctor. Pediatricians believe that shoe salesmen are their best allies in keeping children's feet healthy. 3. DON’T ever hand down shoes from an older child to a younger. Even if they seem to fit perfectly, and hardly seem worn enough to throw away, they can do serious damage. A shoe conforms to a child’s foot within a week or two after it is bought, and then really “belongs’ to that foot. It cannot change its shape to fit another foot, but a tender foot can be twisted and turned to fit the shape of someone else’s shoe, and therein lies the danger. 4. DON’T think that the only criterion of fit is that there seems to be enough room for the foot inside the shoe. When a child’s bones are soft and still growing, his feet can be injured without any pain. 5. DO take your child to have his feet measured at regular intervals. 6. DO have the child walk around the store wearing both shoes to make sure that the shoe does not ride up and down on the heel. Properly fitted heels prevent rotation on the ankles, and give the feet support for proper stance. 7. DO change your child’s socks during the day. A child’s feet get damp from exercise. Remember that a child outgrows his socks as he outgrows his shoes. Socks that are too small are as harmful as shoes that are too small. "3- DO have an older child change from his school shoes to lightweight shoes when he comes home, and see he changes his socks at the same time. 9. DON’T hesitate to ask questions in the shoe store. Shoe salesmen are glad to tell you out of their experience all about the construction and wearability of the shoes you are consider* ing.” We of Haflich and Morrissey Shoe Store do rededicate our shoe fitting experience which combined totals over 30 years to fulfill our responsibility and encourage parents to follow the procedure as outlined above.

nicked or scratched. To protect glassware in the sink, use a rubber mat or dish towel cm the bottom. Water should be comfortably hot and sudsy. A few drops of bluing in the water will add sparkle to clear glass or crystal. Rinse water should be of the same temperature, as sharp changes in temperature put a strain on glassware. If iced drinks have been served, the remaining ’ liquid should be poured out and the glasses filled with barely lukewarm water to take thee hill off before sudsing Glasses used for milk or wine should be rinsed out in clear, cool water before they are washed. A long-handled dish mop or bottle brush is useful for cleaning tall glasses and cut or etched glassware. Dry glassware with a lint-free towel. , And here are a few special tips for the care of glassware: In order to prevent breakage when pouring hot liquids into a glass, a spoon should be placed in the glass while pouring. Stains in water bottles, decanters and pitchers are easily removed by placing tea leaves soaked in vinegar, together with a few grains of uncooked rice, into the piece and shaking vigorously. A tiny nick can be smoothed by rubbing the glass softly with a fine emery paper. RUMMAGE SALE ' at FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH BASEMENT SATURDAY, AUG. 22, 1959 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. 9 to 11 P.M. Special!
