SHOES FOR THE
From Foochow, China, comes this
letter from R. E. Gardner, Jfoochow
College: "Neolin Soles have solved the
shoe problem for me. Other soles wore
out quickly on the rocky roads here,
and I had no end of trouble with
them," he writes.
Where other soles fail, Neolin Soles
always stand the test of hard wear and
rough usaee. This fact points the way
to economy. Buy Neolin-soled shoes
for the whole family, and so save shoe
money. And have Neolin Soles put on
your old shoes, too.
These durable, flexible, and water
proof soles are scientifically made by
