A radio set might be likened te a
house plumbing supply. The pump
Is the sending station. The tank
Is our aerial which receives the
water. We guide It by means of
pipes (wires) te the places where
we can use It. We have various
apparatus like tubs and spigots
and steppers where the water (cur
rent) Is made useful. Then we.let
It go en down into the drain or
sewer (the ground)

STANDING or walking all day long en
hard floors and pavements is an un
natural strain.
The human feet was designed for soft
dirt paths. Under modern conditions even
the strongest physique suffers.
Of course hard leather heels give no re
lief. Ordinary rubber heels are little better.
Seme are soft, crumbly rubber that wears
down quickly ethers are se hard and
lifeless that you might as well wear leather.
O'Sullivan's Safety Cushion Heels give you perfect
protection. They combine just the right toughness
for long hard wear with the greatest amount of
springiness.
You'll never knew hew much a real shock-absorber
can help you in your work until you wear O'Sullivan's.
The strain of standing the jar of walking
O'Sullivan's absorb them both.
The price of O'Sullivan's te you is generally the
same as the price of ordinary heels, in spite of the
fact that O'Sullivan's cost the dealer mere. Your
repairman could make a bigger immediate .profit en
any one of half a dozen substitutes but when he
puts en O'Sullivan's, he knows you'll bring trade te
him again.
Ask for O'Sullivan's Safety Cushion Heels when
you leave your shoes see. that they are attached.
