and shoes at the toe, in few weeks-somctimcs
in few days. Buy them with MTCHELL's PATENT
METALLIC TIrS, and you will save t,Co-hirds Of
the expense Of supplying your children with shoes.
This invention enables u to offer t. the public
boots and shoes that NEVER WEAR OFT At The
TOES We have hundreds Of testimonials from
parents who have bought them, showing, that On
the average, one pair OF shoes with tips will for
children, wear as long three pair without, and
for Misses, Boys and Youths, they will wear At
least twice as long, while the cost i but trife
more.
This statement is made with entire confidence in
its strict truth as it is based careful eNamina-
tion Of the Facts, III IN experience Of more than
two years, which has proved that these Copper
toed Shoes, have on an average, worn a least
three times long the old style, and As The cost
is but trife more, the Importance 81 the inrcn-
tion to All having little feet ~ protect will A once

This invention is also importantas protection
against the cutting Of the Prairie Grasses also for
Miners and Plantation use, and an occupations
where the toes Of the Boots o. Shoes are particu-
larry liable to be cut or worn
