We've had the hardest kind of a time
getting real China Buckskin for our chil
dren's "Shoer-Treds" this season and we
will net use a substitute. Just sent back
an entire shipment of domestic buck
because it was net up te our standard, did
net have the leeks, lacked the luxurious
pliability of the real China leather and we
knew it would net stand up under service.
But we've get them new, lets of them,
although they're scarce about town. Built
en our wonderful "Shoer-Tred" last,
they're the prettiest, dressiest shoe you
can put en your "kiddie."
