This Custom Is NOW General

1t has now become a general and also
a safe rule to demand brands OF goods
that are we'll known and have reputa-
ton for quality and reliability. Nova
days the manufacturers of good, goods
inform customers of this fact and point
out that safety lies in buying the brands
that bear their names and trademarks.
In this respect the Mayer brands of
shoes are deserving of special mention
miliar with these shoes and know of
their excellent wearing quality by actual
use. The Mayer factory turns out shoes
suitable for every member of the FAMILY
and for all uses, Sunday shoes and every
day shoes, and they are known through
out the broad expanse of our land as
the shoes of style and quality. The

the Martha Washington" shoes are
highly recommended. Please bear this
in mind when next buying shoes.
