This style is made on the new Saftopedk /ast, but without an arch cushion. No. 682 is a brown elk blucher shoe with "Vul Cork” sole and rubber heel, one piece molded back. These are known as the IRON AGE SAFE TY SHOES, and are made by the H. Childs and Company of Pittsburgh, who specialize in the production of DRESS and WORK shoes with the STEEL TOE. This steel toe cap adds approximately an ounce of weight to each shoe, and will withstand a pressure test of 2500 foot pounds. These are the newest style in safety shoes, and present lightweight and flexible footwear for work and dress. The "Neo-Cord” soles are noted for being 28 per cent cooler to the wearers feet than ordinary rubber or composi tion soles, and oils, grease, acids, caustics and extreme heat do not deteriorate this long wear ing sole. Based on the foot and toe injuries that have occurred since the plant started operations, there is not a department here in which the safety shoes would not be of advantage. . For your information, notices will be posted j| on the bulletin boards throughout the plant when these shoes arrive. The slip-resistant qitality of "Vul- Cork” soles is ideal for wet floors, and offers real comfort for those who are on their feet for any great length of time. For those who do lots of walking and bending, the "Vul-Cork” sole provides good traction plus long wear., A BARGAIN
