YOU MEN WHO PAY THE
FAMILY SHOE BILLS

Tramping IS miles a day, MIR. H. M.
Foreman, a mail carrier of Allentown,
Pa. found that shoes with ordinary
solee last about one month. But he
says a pair Of Ne6lin-soled shoes gave
him more than nine months of service,
in which time he walked over 1000
miles.
His experience shows how you may
save shoe money by providing your
family with Neolin-soled shoes, which
give extra wear where other shoes wear
out quickest.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes in
any type Of shoe you want. Prices
are about the same as for shoes that
give only ordinary wear, sometimes
they are even less. II your dealer
hasn't the style you want, he can get
it for you quickly. Remember, Neelin
SoleS are created by science to be what
soles should be. They are available
everywhere for re-soling as well as on
new shoes. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot
Heels-guaranteed to outwear any
other heels.
