From Foochow, China, comes this letter from R. E.. Gardner, Foochow College: "Neolin Soles have solved the shoe problem for me. Other soles wore out quickly on the rocky roads here, and l had no end of trouble with them," he writes.
 Where other soles fail, Neolin Soles always stand the test of hard wear and rough usage. This fact points the way to economy. Buy Neohn-soled shoes for the whole family, and so save shoe money. And have Ne6lin Soles put on your old shoes, too.
 These durable, flexible, and water. proof soles are scientifically made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,, Akron. Ohio. who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other heels.
