“ W e’ll eat our Thanksgiving meal

Kenneth, his eyes flashing with joy

Certain details o f the feast the girl had

Looking up from her self appointed

his appetizing roast, which he was
hasting. As Kenneth opened his arms
she did not resist him.

Just as their lips met the old man’s

Improving Famous Road.
For two years parts o f the old Na­
tional road, the natural thoroughfare
from Washington and Baltimore to
Wheeling and the west, have been In
such hud condition through western
Maryland that Its usefulness as a
through automobile route has been
greatly Impaired. The originally good
mirface has been worn off for miles,
exposing large stones, o f which its
foundation was principally made. In
some cases tiowlders were washed
down by the mountain streums, and
I weral stretches were Injured by the
hauling of pine timber from the dis­
trict north o f Hancock and Fllntstone.
As a result a great deal o f the through
travel east and west has been going
by Bedford. Llgonler. Oreenshurg and
Pittsburgh, a longer and more hilly
route than that over the National road
direct to Wheeling and beyond. Late­
ly. however, the state highway com­
mission. encouraged and aided by the
Automohlle Club o f Maryland, has
taken an active Interest In restoring
the road to Its old rime tmportan.-«.

These substitutes are hidden where you can’ t see
them. You can’ t detect the adulteration until you wear
the shoes and find them unsatisfactory.
You may have an old pair of shoe* with run-down
heeli, counteri broken down, or the outer aole ripped off.
Cut them up and you will probably find them “ adulter­
ated ” .
The only reason why any manufacturer uset substi­
tutes for leather is that they are cheaper than leather.
They mean larger profits for him because you pay leather
prices for the shoes.

Roberts. Johnson & Rand, the manufacturers, have built

— in o -ly fl'teen years, simply by maklug " Star Brand"
shoes of good honest leather.
If “ Star Brand" shoes were not better than other shoes,
they could not have grown from a s na.l start to a business of
over tl5.non.000 a year, outstripping all outer shoe makers
in this abort time.

All the above are “ Star Brand” shoe* with the neme on
the aole and the star on the heel. Every pair Is made of good
leather. No substitutes for leather are ever used.
During the last six months Pure Shoe Bills have been In­
troduced Into Congress and several stales, requiring that when
substitute« ior leather are used the fact must be stamped on
the sole.
Many manufacturers and a few merchants are bitterly
fighting these bills. From the start the “ Star Brand”
manufacturers have freely and openly endorsed these bills.
They believe in this legislation because it gives you a square
deal.
Their business has been built up on honest leather ronstmo-
t!on. We believe that this is one reason why they hnvtj grown
so rapidly. If substitutes for leather were better than leather
there would be lots of other shoe makers larger than they are.

Every consumer should be in favor of a Pure Shoe iaw.
Every "Star Brand" merchant believes In this great move­

that the wearer gets what he pays for.
