WRIGHT COPELAND-STONE COMPANY CLINTON, SOUTH CAROLINA To Our Customers and Friends:- You, mothers and fathers, know, how hard child ren are on shoes and yet, very often, the child is blam ed for wearing out the shoes too quickly when the shoes themselves are really too poor to stand the wear an active child will give them. You would not spend your money for some shoes if you could cut them open and see what is i.nside of them. A solid leather shoe, if properly made, wears longer, holds its shape longer and, in every way, is a better shoe than one in which substitutes for leather are used. Do not buy shoes without having an opportunity to see the shoes themselves, and then study their quality and construction. When you buy ''Star Brand’’ shoes from us, you not only see the shoes but you can also see a shoe that has been cut open. m * a W: { ( Star Brand'' Shoes for children are attrac tive in appearance and made to permit the proper devel opment of the child’s foot.
