''Hornbilt" and western Lady, are the
names of two shoes which are con-
coded to reach the height of perfection in
shoe making.
The successful originator of these two
lines of perfect shoes is the F. Mayer Boot

shoe dealers and are recommended by them
as giving the greatest satisfaction of any
shoes in the market The new shoes will

that every reader will take careful note of
the advertisements of "Hornbilt' and
'Wesern Lady, shoes and when next in
need of shoes, make a request upon the
dealer for one of these brands.
The "Hornbilt'' for men is that substan-

man who is at all DESTROYS of being well
dressed will search for. Made in variety
of designs, for exclusive business or dress
wear, or as appropriate for all uses, 1T has
features that appeal to every man.
The western Lady, for women will
quickly become recognized as the most
proper shoe for ladies it embodies all
that appeals to a woman when she seeks
the ideal shoe for her use. The beautiful
design and graceful lines delight the fas-
tidious taste of the fair sex. Made from
the softest select upper feathers and the
most flexible and durable sole feathers they
are endowed with wearing and comfort
qualities that afford a world of satisfaction
If your dealer does not happen to nave
