LITTLE LADIES LOVE LOAFERS
And Buster Brown makes them right. He takes the expected and creates the
exceptional loafer with the style and grown-up good looks little ladies want.
Mothers like Buster's loafers, too, 'cause the boy and dog in the shoe mean
unexcelled quality and guaranteed perfect fit.
