Selz $6 Shoes
mean true economy
ITH leather higher in price than
has ever been known and many substitutes being
used the average mind is confused in determining just what prices
he ought to pay to get maximum value for his expenditure, when
buying shoes.
Anyone knows the wearing quality of a shoe depends
upon the kind of leather used.
You can buy Selz Shoes at this store for less than $6
we have Selz Shoes at $4 and $S good dependable Shoes for the
money. You can also buy Selz Shoes ior as much as $10 the-very finest
grade but the greatest economy in wear per day begins at $6.
Selz means all leather
no matter what price you pay.
Selz" is stamped on shoes for the same reason
Sterling ' is stamped on silver. This name stands for nearly
half a century of good shoe making, so that, in shoes, Selz and Leather .
mean the same.
Some manufacturers of well known shoes are using
substitutes for leather, not because substitutes are better than
leather, but because they are cheaper. There isn't anything better than
leather for shoes.
You will find substitutes for leather in many higher
priced shoes today which have heretofore borne a good
reputation.
It's the name that counts on shoes today more
than ever before you are safe in buying Selz Shoes. ,
You can get the genuipe Selz Shoes at this'Store.
