A sample set will be sent to any address, except in the 
States of Minnesota and Wisconsin, on receipt of one dollar. 
Prices by keg on application. 
THE ADVANTAGE 
of the Steel Center Self-Sharpening Shoe is that the calks 
are always sharp. A thin piate of steel is roiled inside 
of the soft iron bar from which the shoe is made. The soft 
iron in the calk partially wears away, leaving the sharp 
steel center, as shown In the cut. Address
