The Perfected American Shoe
A Shoe That Sells the World Around
Only in Europe are Sorosis Shoes Sold for More than $3.50. (Made Nec
essary by the Tariff Duties.) The Price of Soros is in This Country
Remains $3.50, Notwithstanding the Reports Circulated That They
Would Be Sold at $5.00 After October 1st.
AMERICAN WOMEN are
quick to appreciate superior style,
good value and sterling worth.
Their phenomenal purchase of
Sorosis shoes during the past four
years is ample proof of their good
judgment.
SINCE THE INTRODUC
TION of Sorosis shoes into Lon
don, Paris and Ileiiin (where re
strictive tariff duties have made it
necessary to charge about $5 per
pair) their sale has been wonder
ful. Sorosis shoes have com
pletely icversed trade situations,
liefoie their perfection imported
shoes were largely sold in this
country. Now the most eagerly
soughl-for footwear in foreign
cities is Sorosis, at a huge ad
vance in price over what jou are
privileged to buy them at in this
country.
The recent attempt to establish
a Sorosis store in Vienna nearly
caused a trade riot. The local
shoemakers, i()0 strong, appealed
to the government officials for
protection, claiming that the
Sorosis Company with their im
proved methods could manufac
ture shoes .30 per cent, cheaper
and of much superior style than

T!i owning ef a Sorotis Shoe Store In Vienna warty caused a riot, a deltgo
. Hon qfover sun local manvfactvrcrs watting upon the Goternmtntto protett agamit
birmit and demand that eorne measures in taken for iU exclusion,
they were able to produce. They
even went so far as to threaten to
mob the store should one be
opened. The cable dispatches
were full of this incident at the
time it occurred.
Some of the most radical pa
pers went so far as to say this op
position might mean the com
mencement of a trade war be
tween this country, Germany and
Austria.
THE FEELING AGAINST
SOROSIS in Vienna may have
been somewhat aggravated from
the fact that the Princesses of the
ROYAL FAMILY purchased
Sorosis shoes from the I5erlin
store and afterward expressed
their intense pleasure and gratifi
cation at Sorosis style and com
fort. EVERY AMERICAN CITI
ZEN is proud of the success at
tained for these remarkable shoes
abroad, and the beautiful shops
fitted up for their sale there, con
ducted by American methods and
conveniences, have been a revela
tion to the trade as well as the
patron, and have proved objects
of interest to Americans traveling
abroad this Summer.
The Perfected Shoe for Women
Never Higher
Never Lower
$3.50
No other article of American manufacture has accomplished so complete a conquest of European markets as has
followed the campaign inaugurated by the manufacturers of Sorosis.- Fortunately the remarkable qualities of Sorosis
were immediately recognized and now, as they are universally acknowledged to be above and beyond imitation or
substitution, Sorosis Shoes are the most eagerly-sought footwear all over the world.
