OF DOUGLAS
SHOE STORE
Long Felt Want Filled by This
Famous Foot Specialist.

DR.. H. w. Weeks, of New York
and st. Louis, who holds the degree
of doctor Of chiropody and ortho-
pedia, has taken up a permanent
residence in Omaha and Joined the
staff Of the Douglas Shoe store, III
North 18th Street, where he will
treat all diseases Of the feet and
render valuable advice as to the
shape shoe one should wear to assist
ia correcting the deformities of the
feet to which so many people are
heir.
w. S. Stryker has Just completed
arrangements by which DR.. Fl. WI
Weeks Of New York and st. Louis
will become permanently identified
with the Douglas Shoe Store to act
as an advisor to anyone desiring a.
consultation on foot troubles.
DR.. Weeks is an authority on the
subject of the feet, as he is q spe-
cialist on this subject, holding the
degree of doctor Of chiropody and
orthopedics.
Mr.. Stryker, in speaking on this
new service secured for his patrons,
states that he is particularly pleased
at having secured an expert of the
standing Of DR.. Weeks, as this
branch Of the work has become too
heavy for him to attend to alone.
SAs far as is known, no other shoe
store in the west has gone as far
as this in service to the public. Here
tofore men and women who have
had to consult chiropodist or foot
expert have had to get the shoes
recommended by the doctor at an
ordinary shoe store and be fitted by
one who might or might not be com
petent to fit shoes properly.
Now a patron will not only have
the best of advice and treatment,
but can have shoes fitted under the
direction Of the doctor himself.
This move toward 100 per cent
shoe service viii be watched with
interest. not only in Omaha, but by
shoemen throughout the country.
DR.. Weeks will arrive Sunday and
plans to make his home here perma-
nently.
