Will Introduce
New, Unique Foot
Relief Service

They say that Truth is stranger
than Fiction and that old adage may
be aptly applied to this story. To
build shoes that would satisfy the
most discriminating taste and at the
same time fit comfortably has been
the despair of shoe manufacturers.
Years ago DR.. Scholl, the we'll
known foot authority, began to work
on line of shoes that would COM
pletely solve this knotty problem.
When he gave to the foot suffering
public his famous line of Scientific
shoes, his efforts were crowned with
success.
Mr. Webb, who is headquarters for
Dr. Scholl's Foot Comfort Appliances
and Remedies, has arranged with DR..
Scholl to demonstrate his Scientific
Shoes at Webb's Henderson Shoe
Store on Friday, Oct. 8. DR.. Scholps
Foot and Shoe Experts will bring with
them advance showings Of the COM
p1ete line of DR.. Schools new style
shoes There will be 622 fittings to
meet the most fastidious tastes and
all types of feet, in sizes for men from
6 to IA; for women from 1-2 to 13;
in widths from AAAA to ZEE.
Unless one has made an intensive
study of the feet, one would never
realize how many different kinds Of
feet there are. Here is a woman who
has a short, stubby foot; the next is
man with a long, slim foot with
narrow heel; the next customer has
a high arch ard, his friend, weak,
broken-down arches. Then there are
Iegions who have foot troubles such
as, corns, calIouses, bunions, crooked,
overlapping toes and those who con-
tinually run their heels over. In short,
many people will tell you Il have the
hardest foot in the world to fit" 1t
is this class, Mr.. Webb says, VINO
should be vitality interested in Dr.
Schools Scientific Shoes.
With this array of shoes there Will
be included the latest model X-ray
Machine,( the Photograph and Or.
ScholIs Automatic Shoe Sizer. In
testing feet and fitting these shoes all
guessWork is eliminated.
DR.. Scholl has given the growing
| feet of children the same careful
consideration as he has adults. he
claims that many of the foot all
ments from which men and women
suffer today can be traced back TO
improperly made or fitted shoes when
their feet were in the tender plastic
stage of childhood.

Hand uplifted, unarmed, and CLAD

shuffled him quickly to the pavement

Apparently unconscious, he was car
