How about those Rubber Heels ON YOUR SHOES Rubber Heels make walking a pleasure and they are better than leather heels for the following rea- sons: They are light, keep you from slipping and don’t scratch the floor as some heels do. This is the time to put them on and it costs only 40cC. I put them on while you wait in 10 minutes. They are more economical than other heels because they wear longer. Better think about it NOW before you slip or fall on the sidewalk. I use only the Catspaw, the best rubber heels made. M.
