METAL soLEs FOR FARM SHOES.
footgcar Made That Way Lasts Much
Longer Than all Leather Shoes.

From Popular Mechanics.
Shoes with aluminium soles are now
made for farmers and laborcrs who
are required to work in water or on
damp floors The top Of the shoe Is
of leather and the sol els continuous
piece of aluminium which covers the
entire bottom and folds up along the
sides. Between the foot and the metal
IS heavy felt Insole and The heel has
a core Of wood to decrease its weight.
Lack OF fleNlbllity in the sole Is made
up for by IA bar under the ball OF the
foot. which gives a buoyant roll to the
step and prevents flat footed walking.
Aluminium is used In preference to any
other metal because it combines light
ness with great durability, the soles
longer than rubber and being
more impervious to water. The shoes
are made in three heights and are
comparatively inexpensive.

SMALL ADVERTISERS
HAVE GOOD CHANCES.
By Holland,

Some merchants who are do
ing business in a small way ar.
que that 1t will not pay them
to advertise because they can
not'afford to buy the space that
large advertisers use. They
forget that very often the large
advertiser began buying space
in Il small way and the aid the
advertising did him enabled
him to increase Ills business
and his advertising appropria-
ton at the same time.
1t would be just as rcasona-
Bile 10 argue that it would not
nay to start a small store be-
cause the merchant could not
afford the big building ttot the
big merchant occupies. Every
thing is relative. The small
business needs only a small =
store and only a small adVer-
tiscment. But a business can
be made profitable in limited
, uuatcrs, and successful adVer-
Using can be done without US
ing pages or half pages.
The editor Of this paper
knows a good deal about adver-
Using. His information and
advice are yours for the asking
He is interested in making your
advertising pay, and the fact
that the advertisement is small
does not count, Better consult
him and see II you cant hit
on a plan that will be mutually
profitable.
