When a big, live Women's Apparel
Store like Frank & Seder put their
name behind a trademarked Shoe
you can bet your bottom dollar
that the limit of Shoe VALUE
must be in those Shoes.
When we advertise RED CROSS SHOES
we are mightily sure that they maintain that
Standard of Supreme VALUE demanded
of and given by this Plain People's Store
catering to Plain People.
