One Pair of Steel Shoes Will Outwear 
Three to Six Pairs of Leather Shoes 
Just as a matter of economy, it will pay you to wear Steel Shoes. One pair will easily 
outwear from three to six pairs of leather shoes—saving $5 to $10 of your shoe 
JgpiifSk money in a year. But the comfort of Steel Shoes is an equally strong reason for 
wearing them. You simply can not realize what foot comfort really means until 
you have worn Steel Shoes. They do not twist and warp out of shape like 
leather shoes, because the rigid steel bottoms compel them to keep their shape 
always. Unlike rubber boots, they do not make your feet hot and sweaty. 
They are light, dry, warm and clean. You can work anywhere—in mud or 
slush—in all sorts of weather—and you’ll find them restful and comfortable.

for a 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 inch! 
waist measure; price 10 cents. 
The kimono with sleeves and body 
portion in one piece is a new and pretty 
modfl. It is made with fronts and 
backs and there are shoulder, under¬ 
arm and back seams. The trimming is 
applied over the edges and there is a 
single large button at the neck which 
effects the closing. When the sacque 
length is desired it is cut off on indi¬ 
cated lines. The quantity of material 
required for the 16 year size is G yards 
24, 32 or 44 inches wide, with 1 yard 
of silk for bands for the long kimono; 
3 yards 24, 32 or 44 inches wide for the 
short kimono. The pattern 6102 is cut 
in sizes for girls 14 and 16 years of 
age; price 10 cents. 
The soles of Steel Shoes and an inch 
above the soles are stamped out of a 
special, light, thin steel. One piece of 
steel from* toe to heel—not a seam or 
joint anywhere. 
The uppers are made of the very best 
quality of pliable, waterproof leather— 
riveted on to stay. The bottoms of the 
soles are studded with steel rivets, to 
give you an absolutely safe, firm footing, 
no*matter how slippery the way. 
A man who wears steel shoes doesn’t 
have to own three different styles of 
working shoes. No arctics or felt boots 
necessary. Steel Shoes need no repairs. 
Better Than Rubber Boots 
Rubber boots keep the feet hot and 
sweaty and make them very tender. They 
are positively injurious to health. 
Steel Shoes, with their waterproof 
leather uppers, give you the same pro¬ 
tection as rubber boots, without sweat¬ 
ing your feet. 
One pair of Steel Shoes will outwear 
at least three pairs of rubber boots. 
Steel Shoes Save Doctor Bills 
Wear Steel Shoes and you will not 
suffer from colds, rheumatism, neu¬ 
ralgia and other troubles and dis¬ 
comforts resnlting from cold, wet 
feet. They prevent sickness, save 
doctor bills. 
No lost time on account of cold, 
wet, stormy weather! 
The inner soles of Steel Shoes are 
springy Hair Cushions, which absorb 
the perspiration and foot odors. 
They also give elasticity to the tread, 
and absorb the shock when you walk 
on hard or stony ground. 
The Hair Cushions can easily be 
taken out and cleansed. Being shaped 
to fit the feet, and having these Hair 
Cushion insoles, Steel Shoes keep, 
your feet free from corns, bunions, 
callouses and soreness. 
They need no breaking in. Are 
easily slipped on or off. They are 
comfortable all the year ’round. The 
saving in medicine and doctor bills 
will pay for Steel Shoes many times 
over. Order a pair today! 
No More Sore, Tired, Aching Feet 
Throw away your old rubber boots— 
your rough, hard, twisted, shapeless 
leather shoes—and wear Steel Shoes in¬ 
stead. Then you will not be troubled 
with sweaty, blistered, tired, aching feet 
or tortured by corns and bunions. 
Your Money Back if Not Satisfied 
We make you safe in sending for a pair 
of Steel Shoes by agreeing to refund 
your money without delay or argument 
if you are not satisfied when you see the 
shoes. Shoe money cannot buy bigger 
value than either a $2.50 or $3.50 style 
of Steel Shoes. Sizes 6 to 12. 
We strongly recommend the $3.50 pair 
because the 9-inch uppers give you the 
best possible protection and the utmost 
satisfaction. 
Don’t cheat your feet out of the com¬ 
fort of Steel Shoes. Think of the trilling 
cost—the big saving in shoe bills and 
doctor bills. Send only $3.50 for our 
9-inch Steel Shoes (state size shoe you 
wear) and the best and most comfortable 
working shoes you ever wore will come 
by fast express. Send today.

inch uppers and are better than the best all-leather $3.50 shoes on the
