A Great Fraud Exposed.
Some oik- once said that the
American people liked to be hum
bugged. It: sometimes seems that
such is the case. There are a great
many articles on the market that
are frauds, and tend to deceive
th<- working people and get their
hard earned dollars and not give
them value received. There are
thousands of shoes sold and claim
ed to he “as good’’ as Buttle Axe
shoes. But the original and only
genuine Battle Axe shoe- prove by
their superior wear that they are
still at the top.
It, will pay each reader of this
to ask his dealer for only Battle
Axe shoes, the prices an- as low',
as cheap and trashy substitutes
and the people who work and
earn their dollars are rapidly
learning that they get better
value in Battle Axe shoes for less
money than in fraudulent imita
tions. Battle Axe sho>- have
stood the test for tfO years.
