If the chiropodist has a morta
enemy, it is our Common Sense
shoes. A failure of the corn crop
isn't a good thing for the country;
a failure of another kind of corn
crop isn't a good thing for the
chiropodist. The fact is that in
this shoe the foot has an easy time
of it, There never will be any
thing the matter with the foot
because there's nothing whatever
the matter with the shoe. 1t is as
far beyond criticism in material as
it is in make, and in neither respect
has anything more faultless in
footwear ever been produced. 1t
does not always happen that a
cheap shoe is a good one. This
shoe is as high in quality as it IS
low in price.
