Buchfnk Shoe
Shop
(By N. o. Shanks)

More people are wearing "made
over" rebuilt shoes today than ever
before the history of the country.
And no one is so ignorant to ask why
either. Everyone knows that the
price of leather has gone to the sky;
shoes that used to go to the rubbish
are now taken to the shoe shop and
new soles put on, patch here and
there, maybe new heel-but its life
is extended for several months, and
at pretty nice saving.
The next question is to pick out a
good, reliable shoe repair shop.
There is an art to repairing a shoe.
The old shoe can be made just as
comfortable when it is repaired as
the new one-quite often bit more
comfortable
Liberal people are fortunate in
having in their midst shoe repair
establishment who really know; men
of experience and with the most
modern machinery.
This is the Buchfnk Shoe Shop,
one half block north of the Peoples
Bank. This shop is equipped with all
new and modern shoe repair machin-
cry run by electricity. Mr.. Buch-
fink's life trade has been Shoemak-
err, and those who know the reputa-
ton of Mr. Buchfnk who gives his
personal attention to all work, do not
hesitate to take even the finest kid
shoes to him for repair; in fact this
shop makes a speciality of ladies and
mems fine shoe repairing.
Mr.. Buchfink established his shop
in Liberal four years ago in Cralg's
Shoe store and later moved to Kan
sas avenue, and last October sold out
to E. J. Longwell and signed con-
tract not to go into the shoe repair
business as long as Mr. Longwell run
the business, but later Mr.. Longwell
sold the business, so on the 18th day
last February, no longer bound by
the contract, opened the shop in the
present building, and he is the sole
owner of the shop. He is man who
had ten years experience in the bust
ness, and while his business is quite
large he gives it his personal atten-
ton; by doing so he can do better
work at also a saving to his many Gus
toners.
This shop carries the biggest stock
of shoe leather in the city as we'll as
all shoe equipment-half soles, alu-
minum heels for ladies' shoes, rub
Der heels, and Mr.. Buchfnk uses
nothing but the very highest and
choicest grades of leather soles and
leather and rubber heels. He has the
Neolin soles and half soles, shoe
laces, polish-everything to go in the
stock to make this first class shoe
shop.
Part of the equipment of the shop
is the electric Lands No. ~ stitcher;
very few shops over the country have
this expensive and necessary machine.
No more nailed soles. They are all
sewed. Besides, of course, the shop
can do any kind of sewing and stitch
ing in the leather line.
This shop is distinct asset to the
especially in this day of soar
ing leather prices; when shoes are
really shoes, and one is interested in
getting all the pear out of them that
is possible.
Thrifty ones among all classes
have learned the saving of old shoes
and having them repaired. They have
learned a mighty good place to get
satisfactory work done, too.

repair just phone 451.
