People who live in cities! The city dweller travels from home to Office in crowded cars or trains, He seldom walks, or takes ‘other exercise. Usually he works indoors, stooped over a desk, a machirie or a counter. Indeed, medical men state that the average city worker uses no more than a third of - his lung capacity—that about 400 muscles in his body have actually become weakened through disuse. __ What is the result of this kind of life?

Too often it contributes ” directly to that over-fatigued condition which makes the city dweller an easy prey to illness. In his usual routine the average city worker takes 8,000 steps a day, on hard, modern floors and pavements.

What gives a rubber heels‘ life” It ia Hot just the rubber that gives O’Sullivah’s Heels their springiness and wearing qualitics. Rubber, as you know, can be made hard and brittle as in fountain pens or soft and crumbly as in pencil erasers. To secure the resiliency and durability of O’Sullivan’s Heels, the highest grades of rubber are “compounded” with the best toughening agents known. The “compound a is then “ cured”” or baked under high pressure.” By this special process the greatest resiliency is combined with the utmost durability. oe It is this special process that has, since the making of the first rubber heel, established O’Sullivan’s Heels as the stand- ard of rubber heel quality. .
