Buy it, try it tomorrow Idea Of Making People Taller Yia Shoes Pays Off For Shrewd Yankee By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK UP) There is one sure and simple formula for making a profit in America. It is to ask a large number of people what they want and then mass produce it and sell It to them at a price they can afford, I would be rich myself by fol lowing this easy formula except for one thing. Every time l ,asK people what they would most like to nave tney an say: "Money!" And I'll be darned if I can think up a way to manufacture money cheaper man tne government. But up in Brockton, Mass., there is a plain-spoken 53-year old Yankee who was cagey enough ten years ago to ask this innocent question: "Would vou like to be taller?1 And one out of eight men said "Yes." So Ben Stone did something for the "little man." He put f height increasing shoe on the market. Now he helps grownup people grow up more about two lncnes more. It really wasn't a new Idea. They say that Alexander the Great, who whipped the world and died trying to surround a wine jug, padded his sandals. They also say that Napoleon, a small fry with big fry ideas, fixed his boots so that there was con siderable leather between his feet and the necks he sometimes walked on. And-sh-h-h-h! Hit ler hiked up his heels, too. Film Notables 8erved "But of course we don't like to mention Hitler wore height-increasing shoes," said Stone. "We'd rather mention George Raft, Frank Sinatra, Bing Cros by, Al Jolson, Billy Rose, Hum phrey Bogart, Rudy Vallee and Dick Powell." Stone says he has put his "el evators" on these gentlemen, and some 1,000,000 others In the last decade. He did it by perfecting a snoe wnicn iooks iiKe normal footgear but has a thick cork heel that makes a midget feel like caning rnmo camera "Sonny." Actors like to wear them be cause overhead stage lights tend to foreshorten the body and give e smau man a sacK-of-potatoes look. But once he began mass pro ducing his built-up shoes Stone was pleasantly surprisea to find they had more than Hollywood and Broadway appeal. "It is purely a matter of van itybut to them it is important." "How tall are you?" I asked. "Five-feet-ten-and-a-half." said Stone, who stands up very straight. And he added careful ly: "In my stocking feet." Israel Signs Armistice With Her Last Neighbor TEL AVIV. Israel. Julv 20 im The Israeli-Syrian armistice was signea toaay, it was announced here.
