WENT Y-FIVE years ago we made shoes ard sold them to the trade which in turn passed them along to the wearer at $5.00 to $8.00 a pair. Ten years ago we first began to szll direct from maker to wearer. factory to feet.” In 1895 we gotatannery. Then we had 10 stores in 8 cities. 42 stores in 29 cities. ; Do you think we cou'd have got this increase if we had lied in our ads? Not a bit of it. You know as well as we do that we must teli the truth or quit. We say Regal Shoes are the best in style, fit, wear and comfort that money will produce. We've proven our claim to some millions of men wh» now wear and swear by Regal Shoes. We've had hard work to keep our factory facilities great enough to.supply the demand. Ail ths couldn’t have been done simply with talk—had to be done with shoes. We've had to back every statement with leather and money. And we're perfectly _ willing and able to do it. i ’ The man who will pay $6.00 or $7.C0 for a thing which he can get for $3.50 must have either more money or less sense than is good for him. Th: cn{y reason we can see for a man wearing any shoe but the Regal is that he really does not know or does not believe the Regal story. Tike story of the best shoe money can produce sold direct from tannery to consumer for $3.50 is perhaps a hard story to believe, but it is true, and any one cf the hundreds of thousands of Regal wearers will vouch for it. You'can tell for yourself about the style and fit of a shoe, so you’re safe on that. You must be something of a judge of leather and workmanship—we couldn’t fool you much if we weu'd. ‘ So, when we say Regal Shoes at $3.50 are as gco in all ways as any shoes sold anywhere at any price, we've got to be m’ghty near the t-uth. If what we say is true, you are paying too much for your shoes. You are throwing away from $2.50 to $3.50 on every pair you buy at $6.00 and $7.00, and it will pay you to “get wise’ on Regals. ‘Then it was ‘from Now we have You Will Be Sure to Find in Regals What You Want.
