QUALITY The buzz saw demonstrated to every one that saw it work that Regals are Shoes of Quality; that the material in them is the best. Leather companies testify that the sole leather on a Regal Shoe costs 13c more on the pair than that used by any other mak- er of equally priced shoes. STYLE You see the new styles here in Regals just as they are shown on Broadway. In style, the Regal is always a full season in ad- ; vance of all other lines. FIT It is sufficient to say that you can get Regals in any width from AA to EE in addition to the fact that they are the only shoe to come in quarter Sizes.
