- SHOE EDUCATION -
Just as your teachers and professors are expert in your stu
dies.
So are we experts in fitting shoes.
In many cases foot trouble results from poorly fitting shoes.
Whether Freshman, Sophomore. Junior or Senior, vour feet
have their peculiarities, and unless these peculiarities are known
and taken into account when buying a pair of shoes, von are
harming your feet.
BURDEN N: GRAHAM’S personal service insures you shoes
that fit. Our sole aim is not to sell you some kind of a shoe
and get the money. Our first and last thought is to sell the
shoe that tits your particular foot. No other kind of service is
permitted here.
Isn't that the kind of a shoe store you want to trade at?
