Steadfast Shoes are hand-lasted and fitted wah silk* Most so called high grade shoes are cotton-fitted and machine-lasted It is this difference in favor of Steadfast Shoes-this integrity in shoe making-that gives you in Steadfast $5 and $o shoes the same value, the same nigh quality, that you ex pect to find in made-to-order footwear selling at $ JO to $ J 2? Steadfast Shoes are high grade shoes in the fullest sense-finest quality leathers, the highest class of shoemakers, most experienced cutters-all contribute to make Steadfast Shoes not only superior to the shoes you have been paying $5 and $6 for, but equal to the highest grades of custom shoes. Moreover, Steadfast Shoes are Southern made-in Lynchburg, Va., by the Smith, Bris coe Shoe GD., Inc.-made in one of thc most modern and best equipped shoe factories in the world-a factory so complete in its equipment, so thorongh in its methods, that it is being "copied" by eastern manufacturers. Our Spring linc shows some "beauties," clean cut, "snappy," stylish Oxfords-high shoes if you prefer them. The very latest shades in tans and., the dull leathers. The dressiest line of patent leathers ever seen in the city. More different styles-more quality than any other store is showing. Steadfast Shoes embody the very latest ideas of the fashionable "made to order" shoes priced just twice as high. This is a point we guarantee for Steadfast Shoes-you can't get higher quality, more style, longer wear, or an easier fit in any other shoes at anything like the same price. C. M.
