CONGRATULATIONS TO JOS. LEVY AND
FL. STERN.

The Tulsa l)allV Oru, OI Way ON,
claiming to be "Oklahoma's Greatest
Paper, contains a half page adver-
tisement for the Walk Over Boot Shop,
of that city, and along with large
picture of the handsome glass front OF
the store building, gives the following
complimentary mention OF the "two
Young Louisianans" who have made
good in that progressive city. What
the World says will be read with in
terest by the friends in this place of
Mr.. Joe Levy, who left here for Tulsa
some four years ago to engage in the
shoe business with Mr.. E. B. Stern:
Every first -class city has first-class
"Walkover Shoe Store" and the one
in Tulsa is rated one of the very best
in the entire country, not only in the
class of goods carried but in the mod
ern way of retailing the "Walkover
Shoes"
The "Walkover" people never per-
NIT one of their stores to be located
on a poor business street. They al
ways seek the best location, so when
Joe Levy and f. B. Stern, two young
Louisianans, came up to Tulsa four
years ago they at once decided that
South Main street was the place for
their store.
They "put in" at 1923 South Main
and there they built up the splendid
"Walkover" business they now enjoy
And to show how they have grown
il requires half a dozen statesmen to
take care of their large shoe trade
whereas only the proprietors consti'
tuted the force at the beginning.
Personality enters largely into any
business and it is largely responsible
for the success of the Tulsa "Walk
over Store" Messrs. Levy and Stern
are both young men who have bull
themselves up on their own lndivid
ualities. They are shoe men from
their heels to their toes. They dom
sell shoes merely for money but tt
make their customers comfortable
There is a distinct and definite art il
shoe fitting and Joe Levy and +. b
Stern have mastered it. Their success
is attributable in the main to the con
scientious service they render to eacl
and every Gus omer. And they have
instilled their method into their sale
force, so that when man or woman
goes into the "Walkover Store" t.
purchase a pair CT shoes he or she ha
the assurance that they are going t.
be fitted by the most intelligent ant
experienced statesmen.
A few days ago Mr.. Levy gave I
most entertaining an Illuminating ad
dress before the Rotary club, of whicl
he is member, on the art OF sho'
fitting. 1t showed that he was an au
thority on the subject and had gOttel
his right to talk about it not only from
much study but much more persona
observation and experience.
Speaking about clubs, both the young
"Walkover" proprietors are promi
nent in the city's club life. Mr.. Lev!
is member of the Rotary Club, tn
Elks and the Y. NJ. G. A, and Mr.
Stern is a member of the Elks, Lions
and is also Mason and Shriner. To
gether they will represent their firm
in all these organizations.
The stock of the Tulsa "Walkover'
store is one of the classiest "Walk
over" lines in the entire city. 1t suit
all pocketbooks and some of the mos
beautiful and exquisite styles the grea
"Walkover" factory manufactures art
to be seen in the shop windows of thu
South Main street store.
The march of progress up Soutl
Main forced Messrs. Levy and Sterr
to yacate their former location few
weeks ago and confident of the futur,
of the new business district opening
up further south, they went into thu
next block and at Alb South Main the,
are at home in larger and handsom
Ell store than before.
Assidious and courteous attention T.
every customer has made the "Walk
over" shoe store one of the very fines
retail shoe stores i'm the city and it i
one of the distinctive features of tn
new district.
There are only two other "Walk
over" stores i'm Oklahoma-at Okla
homa City and Muskogee. The Tuls
store is the greatest of the trio.
