Waterproof SHOES
For Men

Every man alive has probably been
warned since he was old enough to under
stand language, to be careful not to get his
feet wet; and there Is probably no more
widespread cause of disease and death than
this simple matter of which so many people
are careless.
Recently manufacturers have been Civ
ing serious thought to the making of water
proof shoes, and it is no longer necessary
to wear either rubber boots or Arctics to
keep the feet absolutely dry in either rainy
or snowy weather.
The other day told about these new
Kidskin Waterproof Shoes for men, and
/. our supplies were exhausted in short order
Today we have another lot ready Their
particular virtue Is that they are as neat and
attractive any other shoe. and would not
be considered Wet-weather shoes at all from
guarantee that they are water-tieht. t.p to
the Iacings. The water cannot possibly get
into the soles or through the weltirg. They
are made of neat kids!.in in lace style, lined
with natural kidskin; made on a straight
form last with tips and heavy single soles.
The man who has to be outdoors a good
deal in all sorts of weather. and vet who
likes 10 have his feet neatly dressed will
appreciate these shoes immensely.
