A million women buy
comfort shoes this way
Look for the name "Martha Washington" and for the Mayer trade
mark on the sole. The genuine comfort shoes are identified this way
and a million women have learned to be cautious .because substitutes
are offered everywhere. The substitutes imitate the looks of . the
genuine, but fail to duplicate their comfort-giving qualities. So if you want the
real Mayer Martha Washington Comfort Shoes-look for the name "Martha
Washington" and the Mayer trade mark, which insure against , making a mistake
Women who wear Mayer Martha Washington Comfort Shoes knew what genuine
comfort and restful relief these shoes afford and how they banistt the. aches and
pains of sensitive, tired feet.
Your dealer has the genuine, or can get them for you. Refuse substitutes as the
genuine are sold in this town. If you cannot find where, write to us for the

If your house gowns,
pers, shirt waists, dresses,
are made of Serpentine
you avoid the trouble of
for Serpentine Crepe
ironing. Simply wash
any cotton fabric in the regular way, shake out,
and hang on the line to dry. Presto, a clean,
cool, summer garment, just as attractive in
appearance as the day you first put it on. .
TOURISTS
will find Serpentine Crepe shirt waists and
night robes are particularly desirable for those
who travel, as they do not require ironing,'
take up little room, do not become mussed in
packing, and can be easily washed anywhere,
and when dry are readyf or immediate use. -Fewer '
garments are, therefore, required on a journey by rail or water! ,
BUSINESS WOMEN
whose time, and sometimes whose money, arennecessarily.
limited, will find many, advantages in including garments
made of Serpentine CrSpe in their wardrobes. . The supe
rior wearing quality, and the ease with, which -they ,are .
laundered, make it possible for them materially to decrease
their laundry expenses. . i .
