Of RALSTON HEALTH SHOES are Right
The laws that govern foot-structure are
applied to the making of all Ralston
Health Shoes. Everv nart of a Ralston is
in proper nronortion to ever other nart.
That means Ralston Health Shoes don't dis
tort or vary the natural, structural liues of
the boot to achieve style. They are the most
stylish shoes on the market, yet they never
depart from the hygienic principle of nature
proportions. Ralstons will feel like home to
