Here i_s what Tracy Mun?on of
Soltys: "Judging from my own
IKriencc, they wear four time, ion:.' r
than other Loles and havri th? a:; !i

Why continue to wear extravagant
old-fashioned soles when you cr.n ret.
these money-saving, lonj-v.--.avir ? so.vs

for any member of the family? Good
shoe stores everywhere carry them.
And don't throw away your old
shoes. Have them re-bottomed with
Neolin Soles and enjoy the comfort,
of a re-soled shoe which is not stiff
or clumsy. Neclin Soles are a dis
