to the people Of Sumter and vicinity
Is that Stubs Bros, one of Sum-
ter's best known firms has secured the
agency for Regal Shoes, and will
place this famous make on sale at
| their store about September /.
The history Of the Regal Shoe ex-
tends over period Of fifteen years,
and is unique in many respects. The
original idea back Of the Regal
was that shoe could be
made and sold at a popu-
lar price and at the same time
possess custom-style, the highest pos-
sible quality, and other distinctive fea-
lures which has always been regarded
as belonging to custom-made shoes.
This idea was carefully developed to
the point of practical application, and
the result was that the Regal Shoes
sprang into immediate popularity.
Today the name Of Royals is al
most universal. Their custon-quality
and custom-style have been throushly
advertised everywhere, aid they are
sold not only throughout America bu;
also in twenty foreign countries.
Stubs Bros, express themselves
as being highly grautied 1t having re-
ceived the Regal agency for Sumter.
1--WE are simply carrying out the
policy that has been the keynote of
our success in this city," they said.
THAT is giving the people the great
est value possible. With Royals on
hand, we know that the height OF
shoe value will be right here in our
store. These shoes have been 80 ex.
tensiVely advertised that the people OF
Sumter must feel as if they've known
them all their lives. Now, however.
they have chance to get intimately
acquainted with Regals-to see their
Snappy, thoroughbred custom style
to feel an absolute comfort Of perfect
tit assured by Regal quarter-sizes-to
know for themselves the inimita BILE
Regal quality. Our store will contain
complete stock Of new Regal mod
els. In fact, the best equipped Regal
store in New York city doser't afford
wider selection than we will offer
the men Of Sumter and vicinity
This season there Is a wider range of
new Regal models, expressing the la
test and best ideas in footwear fash
ions,. and according choice that is re-
markable"
1t is a noble fact that the feathers
used in Regal shoes are as famous as
the shoes themselves These feathers
are prepared exclusively for Royals py
special processes, and they are
regarded by experts everywhere
as the top quality. K:ns Calf is the
standard feathers for uppers 1t is
produced by the new chrome-tannaga
process and possesses remarkable
wearing qualities. King Kid made
from Indian Goat Skin, is noted for its
texture. strength and beauty. King
Patent is distinctively Regal leather
1t will not pipe or wrinkle. but when
laid out flat in the skin looks like
g'ittering piece Of plate glass with
black background. and it is as soft and
flexible as glove kid. The sole leath-
er used or all Regal shoes is oak bark
tanned, and is conceded to be the fin
est sole leather in the world.
Stubbs Bros. have shown great en-
terprise in securing the agency for
Royals, and the indications are that
when they first pace them on sale
about September l, there will be con-
siderable of rush for them. They
are preparing to make q window dis

models for fall. This, they say, will
be the finest display of shoe sty,es
ever seen in Sumter
