pasteboard inside. Just good, honest Endi-
cott-Johnson leather through and through.
They are handsome shoes-good lines and
good style, because they are designed by the
same men who design the Endicott-Johnson
dress shoes that sell for twice the money.
And they are finished just as carefully too,
inside and out. Endicott-Johnson shoemakers
do not know how to make a poor shoe.
Now you would naturally suppose that
shoes made out of this extra-grade leather,
with such style and finish, would cost you
more than the ordinary Trust-made shoes.
As a matter of fact Endicott-Johnson shoes
come to you cheaper than any shoe of the
same general type you ever wore.
How Price Is Kept Down
Endicott, Johnson & Co. make good leather
in their own tanneries at rock-bottom cost,
remember.
EndIcott-Johnson shoes pay no prof.
its to Trusts or Middlemen. They carry
no exorbitant retail profits. Endicott.
Johnson 4 Co. sell direct to your local shoe
dealer who is willing to make his money by a
iar margin on many Ales-rather than a
big profit on a smalle7 volume of business.
Endicott-Johnson Workshops are made
IN several grades, selling at $500 to $3.50 a
pair. You can have your choice of numerous
shapes and styles, and a full range of sizes.
Other Endicott-J Johnson Shoes
You can get other Endicott-Johnson lines
shoes for men and women. for boys and girls.
The popular dress and business shoe is the
ENDNELL Goodyear Welt)-selling at
$500, $3.50 and $500.
Go to the Endicott-Johnson dealer in this

If there Is any man in this country who ought to get %
honest shoes at an honest price it is the workingman.
Yet what happens when he buys the average shoe for himse
his family?
Instead OF a shoe that protects his feet properly for the worl
