MADE BY SCIENCE
TO WEAR WELL

1T looks as if the shoes with Neolin
Soles am using would last another six
months. / have worn them two years,
says Clarence j. Bloenker, of St. Louis,
Missouri.
This is extraordinary wear even for
Neolin Soles. But because they are
made by Science to be especially tough
and durable, all Ne0lin Soles wear a
long time. And shoes soled with them
are real economy.
Buy Neolin-soled shoes for yourself
and for the whole family. You can
get them in many styles-at prices that
are no higher than on shoes that give
only ordinary wear. Have your old
shoes re-bottomed with Neolin Soles,
too.
These soles are noted for their COM
fort and waterproofness, also. They
are made by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co, Akron, Ohio, who make
Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to out
wear all other heels.
