!A Year Ago Sept. 18th. I sold a new customer a pair of Good for M Bad Boys Shoes and he told me then that if they were half as good as I said they were he would be back again. Yesterday he drove eleven miles to get his four boys shod with this wear resisting shoe. If | you’ve a boy that’s a ripper on shoes I’d Ilike to show you. Boys $2.50 Little Boys $2.25 They’re cheaper because they wear longer. j Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller
