EXTRA LONG WEAR
FROM SHOES

T. D. Collins of Ookala. Hawaii,
makes a remarkable statement which
demonstrates the money-saving dura-
bhity of Neolin Soles.
He writes, After wearing a pair of
Ne5lin-soled shoes off and on for
thirty-three months, l wore them on
a trip to the volcano of kilauea and
walked around the crater over hot lava
six times and still the soles showed
only slight signs Of wear.
This experience is not accidental.
1t results from the scientific process
by which Neolin Soles are made to be
exactly what soles should be-com-
Portable, waterproof and exceedingly
economical because Of the long wear
they give.
Get them on new shoes for all mem
bers of the family and have them put
on worn shoes. They are made by

pany, Akron, Ohio, who also make
Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to out
