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 Ne6lin Soles. MIR.
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes i 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 Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for re-Soling: They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, Akron
Ohio who also make Wingfoot Heels
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.
