CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS
WITH NEOL|N SOLES

THE answer to the problem of shoe
wear lies in the use of Neolin Soles"-
SO says H.. L. Evans of Steubenville,
Ohio.
For FIVE months" says Mr. .Evans,"I
have been wearing the same pair of
Ne6lin-soled shoes at my work at the
La Belle Iron Works and they are
good for two months more wear. As
my work takes me to all parts of the
mill daily where | have to walk over
cinders, Stag, etc, it is simply out of
the question to buy anything else to
take the place of Neolin Soles."
You too-and your whole famiiy-will
find Neolin-soled shoes wear long and
so save money. You a get them in the
styles you like at almost any good shoe
store. And any repairman will re-sole
your worn shoes with Ne6lin Soles-
scientifically made to be durable. COM
Portable and waterproof. They are
made by The Goodyear TWe & Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to out
wear any other heels.
