by the following article last week
in VanDissels Springdale paper,

Prosecuting Attorney Stull is en-

MEET DEMAND FOR ODD SHOES
Manufacturers and Dealers Prepared
for Need, and There Is No DIFF
ficuIty In the Matter.

When one legged man buys shoe
the dealer sends to the factory for a
shoe to match the one left remaining.
In these days Of the use of machinery
in every process of their manufacture
shoes are made with the utmost ex-
actness and precision and Il Is easily
possible to mate that remaining shoe
with the greatest nicely in size, style.

Few people have feet exactly alike.
commonly the left foot is larger than
the right, SO that one shoe may fit a
little more snugly than the other.
Commonly, however. people buy shoes
In regularly matched pairs, the diff.
ference In their feet, IL IL is noticeable
to them at all. not being enough to
make any other course desirable.
But there are people who buy shoes
of different sizes or widths, In which
case the dealer breaks two pairs for
them, giving them. to fit their feet,
one shoe from each. In such cases
the dealer matches up the two remain
ing shoes, one from each of two pairs,
just CD hC HOulu WAtIt no tlhu broken
one pair to sell one shoe to one
legged man. 7
But a man doesn't have to be one
legged or to have feet OF uneven sizes
or shapes to make him ask the dealer
to break a pair of shoes for him. Here
was man with two perfectly good
feet who came into the store where
he was accustomed to buy and who
wanted on this occasion one shoe.
Travelling in a sleeping car his shoes
had been mixed up with others and
he had got back one of his own and
one of some other mans; a fact which
he had not discovered until he was too
far away from train and station to
make return and setting things right
possible; and now he came in to buy
one shoe to match his own.
