eS THE EVOLUTION OF THE LAUT CU. About 16 years ago Mr. L. C. Bliss organ- ized the Regal Shoe Co. They opened for busi- ness in a little 18x25 basement on a side street in Boston. F Their policy was HONEST SHOES Upon that policy the Regal Shoe Co. has built a business of over Ten Million Dollars annually. From that small basement store they have grown into a company owning and operating 3 large factories and supplying over 800 stores and agencies throughout the United States and 24 foreign countries. The untiring efforts to make The Shoe That Proves has brought to the Regal Shoe Co. the largest business in the world on Men’s and Women's High Grade Shoes. There is only one agency for REGAL SHOES in this section of the country----so look for the Hiram Nichols Shoe Co. Stores at BUTLER, NEVADA and ADRIAN. mH BY GEO. V.
