To Shoe Wearers
I wtuit jrou to reavd the little Shoe History on the
other side and then ask yourself this Question: "Can I
afford to wear any but "FRIKDMAN SHOItS." tested
and tried by Millions of People for fifty-two years and
now more popular than ever?" If you value your best
Interests, the answer should be "No" decidedly No.
Go to the " FRIEDMAN " Dealer in your Town and he'll
be sure to satisfy you. If there is no Agent, have
your own Dealer order from us just what you want.
Ask for any of these Specialty
Brands made in the model

To My Merchant Friends
I want to tell you a little Shoe History:
"In June, 1854, three Brothers started in the Wholesale Shoe
Business. They had limited Capital and their Principal Assets
consisted of: Pluck, Honesty and Economy. However, they sold
Good Shoes and Merchants were Mwt slow in finding it out.
Their Business grew steadily, Facilities had to be enlarged and
Factories to be built in order to keep up with the Demand. They
never lost sight of the fact that their Customers' Interests were
their own, and this is one of the Secrets of Success upon which
the " FRIEDMAN BROS. SHOE CO." was founded. The same
Energy the same Integrity the same Progressive Spirit the
same fair .Business Methods dominate the present " HOUSE
OF FRDXDMAN.".
I want this Bit of Shoe History to sink deep
down into the Heart of every Shoe Merchant. X want
YOU to consider carefully, a line of Shoes that is not
an Experiment; one that has satisfied MerxJiant and
and Conromer for fifty-two years. Then make up your
mind to look at the new Spring
Samples of FRIEDMAN SHOES"

by Dwyer.
In Michael F. Dwyer'a palmy daya hi

.tanged not whether he won or lost; that
inless he gave way to hi emotion occa

"But," said the professional man, "no
one can help you but yourself. And the
only thing you can do I to atop your con
tinual self-repression. Wave your arms
and about Once In a while when you win
a pot of money. Say thing out loud when
you lose. Let yourself go and you'll get
well."
Neither Dwyer nor Smith heeded the ad
vice that was offered to them. Smith
lasted a abort time only, after discarding
tha adviee to "be natural." and Dwyer la
"Out ot It" for all time. Riley Gran nan
waa Ilka Dwyer and Smith In Imperturb
ability, and he, too, broke down, though
possibly not from the same causa. None
of the three waa ever a dissipated man;
Grannan and Smith refrained from ualng
tobacco aa well aa drink.
It would be hard to say which of the
three men was moat picturesque. More
money - passed through Dwyers handa In
tha form of winning and losing than haa
paaaed through th handa of any other
betting man' In the history of tha Amer
ican turf. It haa been estimated that
tha aggregate waa not less than tl0.000.0u0
in the IT or M years that ha waa a prom
inent racing figure. Many of hla method
were essentially different from thoea of
either Grannaa or Smith; tha greateet dif
ference being, perhaps, that while they
were alwaya looking for "long ahota,"
Dwyer often took the short end.
It . haa been published repeatedly that he
onae bet fOO.000 against $10,000 on Joe Cou
ton. A variation of the story placed the
figure at $40,000 to $8,000. The real figure
were $40,000 to $6,000. On that day he hid
lout more money than he fancied, and ao
gave' ordera to his commissioner to bet
enough to win $3,000 at leaat. Working
Independently they accomplished double
the result he asked for, but at tucb odd
aa made hla frio.id gasp. ,
It ( 80 year alnce Michael F, Dwyer
and his older brother, PhillpJ., two pros
perous butcher of Brooklyn, began their
turf career. They had for yeara fre
quented the race tracks In the neighbor
hood ot New York; that year they went
to tha Saratoga meeting. The younger
brother waa greatly taken with the black
cold Rhadamanthua, son of Imported
Leamington, and they bought the animal.
Rhadamanthua started under tha Dwyer
color on August 17, winning a purse ot
$600, and, of course, the "Racing Twin,;
th Dwyer afterward came to be
called, won much more than that la tha
betting ring. By the end of the aeaaon
they owned three horaa and at Its close
their profit were $17,006.
For aixteen yeara their partnerehip con
tinued. During the latter of those year
they were dominant. But they did not
agree In policy. Michael fought the book,
maker and did not bet to ault hla brother,
making many wager at a short odd as
th famous bet on Joe Cotton. Unlike thl
bet, however, many ot the othera were
unlurky.
Today Philip J. Dwyr Is much mora
than a millionaire, awhile hi younger
brother's debt ar aald to be larger than
his resource. But throughout all his career
Michael F. never once lost hla nerve ao
far a any one waa able to learn, nor we
he ever accused of a dishonorable act.
Philip J. always partook of the good things
that came'along, Michael F. lived a mora
abatemloua lit than moat business men,
and repeatedly might have retired worth a
million or two had It not been tor th
fascination which "clnoh beta" alwaya had
for him.
"Small returns and quick profits" seem
to have been his motto, and on that basis
on day hia best-he won $lfc.000, but the
' bookie" had It all In a week.
Once he lost $50,000 on Raceland, the race
being won by Tristan, and when he went
to England In 1894 with Croker hi motto
and the British bookie undid him badly.
Still he might have retrieved himself, even
then, but le couldn't change hi nature or
hla methods, and, by 1899, hia health and
money both gone, the men and the news
paper that were wont to hall him aa King
of the Turf, were forced to admit hla down
fall. There waa on mora brief period tor
him, however. In which the skies seemed
bright. It came In 190S, when hla son
horse, Africander, won the Suburban. They
ay he won nearly $60,000 on the race, and
it waa a pathetic light to aee "Charley"
