New Way of Breaking
In U. S. Army Shoes
How many articles have you purchased
only to be disappointed to an extent
where you would like to be able to re
turn the goods to the merchant and get
your money back? The old method and
a method that still flourishes to-day con
cludes a purchase after you have received
the goods and paid the price. This is
particularly true of articles that receive
wear and tear, like shoes.
Herein Is where the business transac
tion between the purchaser and Berberich
differs. The very fact that Berberich
marks a shoe at a certain price demon
strates that they on their part are sat
isfied when the purchaser pays whatever
the aforesaid price may be. But they
realize that the purchaser cannot tell
whether he or she is satisfied until the
shoes have seen service. Therefore, every
pair ot Berberich shoes is guaranteed to
give satisfactory service, and the pur
chaser bujs with the satisfied knowl
edge that he or she, as the case may
be. Is sure of every cent's worth of
value for which they pay.
With such a guarantee lived up to in
the strictest sense of the word, on Ber-
They have a new way In the army
to "break in" new shoes.
After the shoes have been fitted to
the soldier's feet, be is made to stand
In water up to the shoe tops, until the
leather is thoroughly soaked. Then he
is put on march, and marches around
until the shoes are thoroughly dried on
his feet.
Forever after the new shoes are per
fectly comfortable, for they conform in
shape to every little peculiarity ot the
wearers leeu
This new method of "breaklnr in'
shoes is only one result 6t the recent
investigation of the foot trouble of our
soldiers, which the specially appointed
board of army officers nas neen con
ducting.
The curfew tolls the knell of parting
day.
The swelling crowd winds slowly on Its
way.
Where? To BERBERICH'S, the shoe
house that gives you value received for
your money and then some.

Your Children's Feet Will Be What
Their Present Shoes Make Them
When they grow up they will either bless you for your thoughtful ness or find
it hard to forgive you for not seeing that their growing feet were properly shod.
Look at the shape of your children's feeLand then see that the shoes you get
fit them. The shoe should always be shaped to the foot. Never attempt to shape
the foot to the shoe. You will solve the problem with
EDUCATOR SHOES
For Growing Feet
Educator Shoes are built in the shape of the natural bare foot. They have ample room in the
front for all five toes. Thus they do not destroy the springiness of the step.
Don't think Educators are commonplace, clumsy, "good sense" shoes. They are good sense, but
they are good sense plus good looks. No ugly looseness, but scientific distribution of shoe space,
giving a sensible shape with a fine boot maker s look.
Easy to wear hard to wear out. Educators put up an astonishingly game fight against city pave
ments, and the kicks and cuffs healthy romping children are bound to give a shoe.
The Satisfactory Service of Every Pair Guaranteed
Price $150 $175 $200 $225 $2'50 and $300
Priced According to Size and Extra Qualify
Educator Shoes for Men and Women
Built along the, same foot-form lines as EDUCATORS for little folks. There
are no grotesque shapes, but every style that is conservatively correct.
