AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CUTTING
 SHOE EXPENSE

Many months of comfort at little expense" is the way Charles A. Pear. son of San Diego, California, sums up his experience with Neolin Soles. MT. Pearson had two pairs of shoes re- soled with Ne0lin Soles, and after wearing them for twenty months writes II will have to get new shoes sometime, but so far as the soles are concerned, that time seems as far distant as when they were new"
 This is typical of the experience millions are having with Neolin SoIes. Created by Science to be durable, flexible and waterproof, these soles are an important factor in cutting shoe expense. You can get them Or, new shoes for the whole family, and for re-soling. They are made by The Goodyear Tire x Rubber O., Akron. Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels guaranteed to outwear all other heels.
