Any child in this town ought to try; it doesn't cost anything, and you get a beautiful souvenir, even if you aren't among the fortunate ten thousand. The ereat shoe house of Sell "the largest makers of good shoes in the world" are backing us in this contest, so you know it will be done right. For Selz does everything right. Selz is the only manufacturer who absolutely guarantees every shoe with his name on it; that's the reason we sell Selz shoes. Children can't find a better shoe at a reasonable price than the "Liberty Bell " shoei it's made of genuine leather, uncheapened by the usual frauds in children's shoes. That's the reason they wear so long; and they fit comfortably: look dressy, too. That's why they're "tlie most famous children's shoes in America." Guaranteed tboct tot women and children, too.
