GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE

It Costs Us Carloads of Dollars 

 to Give You This Quality 



Were we to sacrifice quality in "Ball Band" Rubber Footwear for 

 just one year, we could make hundreds of thousands of dollars extra profit 

 on the $10,000,000 worth of goods we sell. But, we will not do it! We 

 divide our profits with you by giving extra quality 



and are willing to do so to maintain the high stand- 

 ard which has gained us the leadership in our line. 



Always Look for the Red 



NOT MADE 



BY A 



TRUST 



"Ball-Band" Trade-mark 



Eight million consumers can testify to the 

 truth of our claim that we make our goods of the 

 proper crude materials, and know how to do it. 

 Forty acres of floor-space, hundreds of machines, 

 vast quantities of materials, an army of highly 

 trained men — all these are the factors that aid us in 

 making "Ball-Band" Rubber Footwear the best that 

 money can buy. 



Some dealers also handle other brands, which 

 cost them less, but which they retail at "Ball-Band" 

 prices. As their profits are greater on these brands 

 you should be careful to look for the "Ball-Band" 

 trade-mark which we place on every pair. The little 

 Red Ball is there for your protection. This same 

 "Ball-Band" Trade-mark identifies our famous All- 

 knit Wool Boots and Socks — the most durable 

 Woolen Footwear in the world.
