Rubber
Heels
Increase Heel Mileage
Have you five minutes to spare
for a pair of rubber heels that will
set so snug i and neatly you will
have to look hard to see the joint?
Then ask your repair, man to
put on a pair of "Usco" Rubber
Heels.
Rip-p-p off conies the old
frazzjled heel. Tap, tap, tap, tap,
and the new job with this won
derful new heel is ready.
The "Usco" Rubber heel
is the latest contribution of
science to longer heel mile
age, and sure-footedness,
A few nails anchor it firmly. The
spring of the rubber presses the
edges tight and snug all the way
round. No cement is used. It
makes a perfectly invisible joint
and a perfectly level tread that will
last till the heel is worn out.
"Usco" Heels are pleasantly soft
and yielding to walk on. The
tough wear-resisting quality of the
rubber makes "Usco" Heels
a decided economy.
Yiur repair man has them in black,
Ian and white. Five minutes of yeur
time is all he needs. Look fir tht
