No more iacing or breaking of aces. Sold

m-they will please YOU.
The use of strings has always been great
source of annoyance. In the champion
Shoe" this is all avoided, being constructed
precisely on the same principle as the ordi-
nary boot. 1t has all the hold and bearing
upon tie foot that IS necessary to keep il IN
its place without lacing. The seams are at
such points az can never hurt the feet, nd
the part above the counter needs only to be
closed by simple buckle and strap to keep
out dirt and rubbish; saving time, trouble, and
uerotion to the wearer- They have been thor
thoroughly tested, and maintain the good re.
putation ,hey have so justly acquired. They
are now being sold in nearly efeuen hundred
places, and are giving universal satisfaction.
They made in the most durable manner,
and every pair warranted.
