This “Bunion,” | No MATTER WHAT’ YOU NEBD—A WORLD A Boon Cowar to Humanity Shoe «More than fifty years ago, James 8, Coward practical custom: shoe maker, conceived the principle behind the Coward Shoe. He saw and understood the sufferings of thousands burdened by foot troubles who were forced to wear unnatural, ill-fitting shoes, So Coward Shoes were built to follow the normal lines of the foot—to fit naturally and afford complete foot-ease. Only the softest seasoned leathers were used in Cowards, and a style of shoe was made for different types of feet, and to remedy the common foot ailments, Today there are listed among Cowards such well-known shoes as the For Men, Women and Children James S. Coward Sold Nowhere Else Arch Support,” “Orthopedic,” “Combination,” “Wide Top” and “Good Sense.” ‘Through the years these famous shoes have contributed much to human happiness and comfort. The pres- ent demand forCowards excecds even thefondest earlier predictions of their originator who is still actively engaged superintending their construction and sale. Truly can it be said that Coward shoes are— “A Boon to Suffering Humanity.” 260-274 Greenwich St., N.Y., Near Warren St. “WANT ADVI, WILL GO GET I
