To those persons who may visit Washington, and
are in want of boot that cannot be excecd, either
in quality workmanship we would call their atten-
ton to the card of Henry Janney to BIO found under
the head Of" Washingtonn handsome and
iymade boot is not ut all times of pleasure
to the wearcr but often OF extreme torture this
is caused by the bungling manner in which the boot
is fitted to the foot. Mr.. Janney has devoted much
of his time in studying the construction of the human
foot in order to ascertain how boot should be cut
and fitted that will be- perfectly easy to all parts Of
the foot In this he has succeeded that it matters
not what may DO tho shape Of the number Of
on tho foot his boot is perfectly easy Thus he has
combined beauty with comfort.
