There is a lifetime of study and accumu- lated knowledge embodied in the lasts on which these shoes are built. Then also the ambition to excel leads us to give the very limit of value not only in material, but in craftsmanship — making these shoes superior from' every standpoint to any other footwear on the market. If every man paid the attention to the needs and health of the foot as he does to impor- tant business affairs, there would be few who did not wear Foot Form Footwear. We always wel- come those interested to consult with our trained assistants about the needs of the foot, whether they are patrons of the house or not. We can tell you things you should know, and the talk entails no obligation on your part.

SOME PLAIN TRUTHS FROM PRESIDENT HARDING Concerning Street Railways Generally Here are some excerpts from a public address which President quJmfi in Cleveland, Ohio, a few months before he was nominated for the Presidency: “There were some very severe and wholly undeserved penalties on patriotic service durmg the war period, and which are still applied i its fevered aftermath. But I know of none worse penalized than the electric railway lines of the country.” ° . ® » “The govemnment fixed the cost of operahon, fixed the price of supplies and maintenance, and prescnbed the service to be performed. It exercised the power to increase burdens, but had no power, or having had it, no inclination to help in meeting them.” - e ) “In effecting the restoration we must wnpe out the contnbutmg causes, and make sure from this time on that honest investment in honest public service shall receive an honest return for that public service. The capltal which seeks to render a necessary public service merits a square deal and it must have it.” . @ ' @ “Destroyed credit must be restored and flexible scales of charges must be provided, so that a public may pay justly for that which it demands. The exploitation of ten or twenty years ago justifies no failure in good faith today. The pub- lic which is served has an obllgatlon no less than that of those who serve it.” < ° ® “Old-time values are out of harmony in a new-era of money's changed measurements. Stable financing, righteous eamings, and just retuns must be based on a proper charge for a service ren- dered. The nickel is no longer the standard of riding value, because it passed as maximum when it ceased to be mlmmum, and lost its relahonshlp when custom recut the luncheon pie.” WASHINGTON RAILWAY AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
