4 SMART COMBINATION
One might call the new black walk
ing boot offered by the Walk-Over
Boot Shop, 226 Market street a COM
nonsense shoe for service, if 1t were
not for the fact that its smart lines,
correct style feature and clever de-
sign give it all the attractiveness that
the words common sense" seem to
belle, and it is the well-balanced COM
bination of style and service, that
makes this shoe so particularly desir-
able. To be more explicit, IL is a black
walking boot on the Cordovan last,
with straight tip, pointed toe. low
heel and the excellence of finish that
is seen in all Walk-Over Shoes and
this model sells for $3.50.
TICKLE FASHION
