/ "It bends 

 W with the foot 



'I never knew 

 such Comfort' 



writes one woman 



What the Red Cross Shoe has done for thou- 

 sands of women it will do for you. 



It is the constant rubbing 

 of the sensitive sole of your 

 foot against the stiff sole of 

 your shoe that makes 

 your feet hurt — makes 

 the flesh draw and 

 burn. 



Imagine a shoe 

 that, while sup- 

 porting and protect- 

 ing your foot, follows 

 every movement of it as a glove moves with 

 your hand. Such is the 



Red Cross Shoe 



The sole of the Red Cross, though of regu- 

 lation thickness, is flexible. It bends when the 

 foot bends. The leather is tanned with genuine 

 oak bark by a process which takes six months — 

 all its life and "spring" are preserved. Your feet 

 never "burn," "draw" nor "ache" in the Red 

 Cross Shoe. It is absolutely comfortable, enabling 

 you to stand or walk for hours without tiring. 



The Red Cross is made in glazed kid, calf- 

 skin, tan and patent leathers in all the latest, 

 fashionable lasts, 



Absolute 

 comfort

More head-aches, back-aches and " nerves " come from 

 aching feet than you have any idea. Our free booklet 

 "Women To=day" shows the importance of foot comfort 

 to health. Write for it. 



Leading dealers keep the Red Cross. If yours 

 doesn't we will gladly send you the name of one 

 who does. Or we will supply you direct, fit 

 guarantied. If this trade-mark, with the name 

 Krohn, Fechheimer £r Co. is not stamped on the

 of the Red Cross. Oxfords, #3.50; High

25000 Tomato Plants Given Away 



READ BELOW. CHOICEST AND 

 EARLIEST VARIETY GROWN. 



GROWING TOMATOES FOR QUALITY, 

 QUANTITY AND EARLINESS 



is the name of the best booklet ever issued on the subject of 

 tomato culture. It contains 30 pages and illustrations fully 

 describing the Potter method of raising tomatoes. By this 

 method you can have bigger and better fruit and weeks ear- 

 lier than otherwise. It teaches the secret and science of to- 

 mato culture; forcing the fruit by systematic cultivation and 

 pruning. This book is invaluable to every gardener, whether 

 he grows one dozen or one thousand vines. The subjects 

 covered are: History of the Tomato; Its Nature and Habit; 

 Tomato Culture in General; The Potter Method; Plants and 

 Planting; Home Grown Plants; Preparing the Ground; Set- 

 ting the Plants; Cultivation; Pruning and Staking the Vines; 

 Picking the Fruit; Ripe Tomatoes at Christmas; 40 Tomato 

 Recipes; Best Tomato Seeds. The information is con- 

 densed and to the point — just what every grower wants. 



The cut herewith shows one of a large number of vines in 

 my garden last season. Notice that each stalk is loaded with large, perfect fruit from top to bottom. 

 This is the result of my method. It is easy to raise this kind of fruit when you know how. Just send 

 for my book — price 50 cents, money order or coin. Your money back if not satisfactory. 



FREE PLANTS. To everyone ordering my booklet before June 10, I will send free one dozen plants, 

 the kind I raise, that will grow and produce fine fruit, and it will be better than any you have ever raised 

 before if you will follow my directions; but please remember, no free plants after June 10; booklet only after 

 that date at the above price.
