 great low shoes.

To put the case plainly,we believe there are no shoes in this town for men, selling at $4, that are as good as these Rowland shoes.
 But the thing to do is to make men believe that. We could do it, if you men would give us a chance. All that we need is to put a pair on your feet and have you give them the test of actual service. The shoes will do the rest.
 Why are we so sure? Be cause they have done it al ready for a whole lot of men who were Doubling Thom- ases. And those very men are now the best friends that Rowland shoes have. Here are a dozen or if teen styles of low shoes for men. They are not only made of the best leather, but they are made by best work men. The one counts as much as the other toward your comfort and the good looks of your shoe. Even the best workman can't make an Al shoe out of poor stuff. Neither could a poor workman make a good shoe; even though given Al leather. These shoes, the Rowland shoes, are combi- nation of best workers and best material. The result lis best shoes.
 They fit, too, as a shoe should. They hug close at the heel and across the ball of the foot. But they don't pinch; are comfortable. This goodness of fit makes them wear longer. They don't wear out half so soon as a shoe does that fits imper- fectly and so gets special strain on some one part.
