Selz Royal Blue Rubbers
For more than thirty years ye have
been making good boots and shoes; each
year a little better; the "name "Selz" on
.a shoe has come to mean "as good as it
can be for the money."
We have sold argood many rubbers
- during these years in connection with
our shoe-selling; as good rubbers as. .we
could get; as good as anybody had.
Tliey were not good enough to put the
name "Selz" on.
Now we intend to improve the
quality of rubbers, as we have improved
the quality of shoes. Selz Royal Blue
Rubbers are better than . usual rubbers;
made on new specifications, in a new
way; they are good enough to put our
name on; to put your money and feet in.
They are like our Royal Blue $3.50 shoe.
"The Sole of Honor."
AsW ycur shoe man for fc!s Royal Blue Rubbers; for mea,
women and children. They Cost the same as ordinary rubber.
largest mtaers of good shoes !n the world.
