Shoe Dressings.

a famous manufacturer once said
that he made his fortune, not 80 much

mense quantities of his product, but
because they We're careless in keeping

thus more than half was thrown away
at the consumers expense.
Do your shoe dressings come high
for the same reason?
One of the most common sights
around the stock room Of the average
home is an assortment of half-usedup,
all dried out shoe dressings.
Most of this waste could be avoided
if people took pains to know how to
remoisten shoe paste successfully. And
it is a very simple secret.
Nearly all Of the shoe pastes are
mixed up either by the use of tur-
pentine or pure water. A water paste
should naturally be remoistened with
