SAVE MONEY!
SAVE SHOES!

II a long chase for a criminal, J. E.
Jones, a secret service man of Chicago,
wore one pair of shoes with Neolln
Soles for nineteen months. This chase
covering both American continents
and Australia, ended IN April, 1917.
The shoes were then gwen a mechanic
at Clearing, IL. and were worn BY
him another seven months.
Until I discovered shoes with
Ne6lin Soles, ! bought new shoes about
every two months, " said Mr.. Jones.
Twenty-six months Of wear under
conditions such as these IS indeed
extraordinary even for Ne6lin Soles-
But Ne6Iin Soles are made by Science
to be especially durable. They are
comfortable and waterproof, too. You
can get them on new shoes for men,
women and children. or for residing.

& Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels. guaranteed to
outwear all other heels.
