SMART LOOKING SHOES
We hear it every day,’ in the store, and from passersby at
bur mildews. Our shoes ARE smart looking, but they’ re
more than smart. Many a cheap pair of shoes look smart
for a week or so. Our shoes hold their shape and retain
their appearance for months after you ’ve forgotten their
slightly higher cost. .
Bay, good shoes, they; yrear longer and feel better.

Princeton university. '
“in his father's custody. it is
