Sizes 81 to IL

Never again will you ne able to buy
these shoes at such low price. We
were lucky in finding a manufacturer,
who was overstocked with them, and
needed ready cash, so we bought them
at almost one-half Of the regular
price. This shoe is made over the U.
S. Army Munson-last, with extra
heavy stitching; special grained
chrome brown leather used through
out. An ideal shoe for workmen,
farmers, icemen, postmen, carpenters
and motormen, who are obliged to be
on their feet all day.
Send correct size. Pay Postman
$2.95 on delivery, or send us money
order.
If you are not satisfied with these
shoes after you examine them, we
will promptly refund your money.
