Just to prove to you that these are the grandest shoes any farmer or working 
man ever put on his feet, we will send you a pair of Hy-D-Rubber-Wood Sole Shoes 
'without one cent in advance! When you see the shoes, feel the texture of the thick, 
tough, yet wonderfully soft and pliable leather. If you think it the biggest shoe 
bargain you ever saw, simply pay the price upon arrival—$3.95 for Style X, or $4.50 for the 10-inch 
top Style Y—and keep the shoes. Otherwise, return them at our expense. 
MANURE AND WATER-PROOF 
Outwear six pair of shoes. And can’t leak! The sole is made of special rubber, 
mixed with Sea Island cotton canvas and hardened under a ton of pressure, almost to 
the toughness of armor plate. Then there is a thick inner sole of non-conducting selected kiln-dried 
wood which is the most comfortable substance in the world to walk on. Practically no wear out to 
these soles. Uppers are of best old-fashioned oak-bark-tanned A A grain leather—thick and tough as 
whang but soft, flexible and absolutely water-proof. Uppers are attached to the sole by a special, 
patented process which positively won’t let a drop of water through. And the acids of manure soil 
and in the milk on creamery floors which quickly rot out rubber boots and ordinary leather shoes* 
simply can’t touch these shoes. Comfortable as a pair of felt slippers from the minute 
you put them on. Fine looking, too—not heavy, awkward and clumsy like ordinary 
work shoes. Wear them indoors as well as out. Soles are sound-proof and do not 
mark floors. And wear? They wear like iron. They will easily give you 
$12.00 Worth of Shoe 
Wear For Only $3.95

Price, $4.50 
Style X 
__ __^ __ " Price, $3.9S 
What with the leather work shoes, rubber boots and overshoes you ordinarily buy, and cost of repairs, the 
bill easily amounts to $12.00 a year. Probably more. And one pair of these Hy-D-Rubber-Wood Sole Shoes at 
$3.95—the 10-inch high tops are $4.50—will give you more wear and comfort than all the footwear you have been 
buying. Wear a pair for a year and see. 
This One Styie Comprises Our Entire Factory Output 
_ That’s how wo keep cost of production down to the lowest notch and maintain a uniform standard of quality. By selling the 
entire output of our factory direct to tho men and boys who wear onr shoes wo 
save and give you all jobbers’ and retail shoe dealers’ profits. A dealer would 
ask you anywhere from $8 to $8 for shoes like these if 
be could get thorn to sell. You pay us only what 
it costs to make them plus one small profit. _
