Tn the Cantilever Shoe you will find, besides the fashionable type of heel and toe, an arch that is flex- ible like your own. This shoe arch flexes with every step you take. It draws up when you lace the shoe to furnish just the degree of support each one of your arches needs. The unrestricted action of your foot strengthens it's muscles through ex- ercise, prevents ands corrects arch weakness, and makes you feel and look more vigorous.
 If you would know the supreme comfort of the stylishly rounded toe, the low heel and the flexible arch, slip your feet into Cantilevers. They are good-looking shoes, well made of choice materials, reason ably priced, and so easy on your feet that they are more than fash ionable.
