"Billiken Shoes" for littlefeet
Shape a foot in the way it should grow, should '
be a maxim that every parent should keep in mind.
Put the right Footwear, on small feet in the early
years of life, and children will avoid all the trouble
and annoyance that comes to those who are not
properly shod.
"Billiken" Shoes possess those qualities
which are most desirable. They are made
with flexible soles, have no nails or hard
stitches to hurt little feet, arfthaped over
a last that gives freedom to every toe, at
same-time not permitting foot to slide.
Children are happy with "Billiken" Shoes,
and as it is the desire of every mother to see her
child happy WHY NOT BUY BILLIKENS?
