NEW YORK RACKET STORE,
W. L. DOUGLAS
$35? SHOES
W. L. Douglas is a progressive shoe manufac
turer. His shoes ought to be better each season, and they are
better. While he always makes them as good as he knows how,
yet as quickly as he discovers ways of betterment, the better*
merits are made. He never buys any but the very best selected
materials. If the market does not afford what W. L. Douglas
believes his shoes demand, he makes it. W. L. Douglas passes
the tanner and tans sole leather by his own secret process. That
is one reason why W.L. Douglas $3.50 shoes afford such unusual
service. Then, again, the upper leather is as gcod as the sole
leather, and the making is as honest as the leather.
For these reasons and because of his unrivalled facilities as
the largest shoemaker in the world, it is only natural that W.L.
Douglas $3.50 shoes should be distinctly superior in style, in
service, and in comfort to the ordinary footwear. It is the tes-
timony of millions, backed up by constant purchase, that they
have never found the equal o! W. I. Douglas £3.50 shoes.
