Anybody want to sell his Lambertvilles?^^ 
“There’s not another pair in the store. John says he sold 
out and he’s got word from the factory that there’s not 
enough Lambertville goods to go around because most of them 
- are going to fill Government orders. I know war’s war and 
we must make sacrifices; but I’ve got a lot of wet work to do 
and I can’t get along without Lambertville boots. Come 
on Joe—or you Bill—-what’ll you take for your Lambertvilles?” 
The above is by no means an unusual or over¬ 
drawn incident. It will be difficult to buy Lam¬ 
bertville Footwear this season. The Government 
is getting nearly all we can make. The man who 
finds a dealer with an odd pair or so of his size 
in stock is fortunate. 
If, through these unusual cir¬ 
cumstances, you are forced to 
buy some brand

hasn’t the style you 
have been wearing,

good purchase. 
you do not know and that is perhaps of lower 
quality than Lambertville, take them only as a 
temporary substitute. Your dealer will have the 
old familiar and reliable Lambertville goods just as 
soon as conditions are normal. 
If you are disappointed, don’t blame the dealer. 
It is his loss, and our loss as well, if your needs 
cannot be met, and we ask that you take the dis¬ 
appointment patriotically as a temporary substitute. 
We make our promise both to you and to the 
trade that a full line of Lambertville Footwear will 
be available as soon as the Government demands 
are lessened. In the meantime, make your old 
boots and shoes last as long as you can, and if you 
are lucky enough to find a dealer with Lambert¬ 
villes, buy them on sight.
