We were glad to help, but, as a result of our serving Uncle Sam, very few Allen Sole Strips were available for the trade. . Where Allen's Sole Strips Come From Long wearing sole leather comes from the back of teer hides where nature, as a protection to the an imal, has made it close grained and durable. This is the kind of stock Allen', Sole Strips are cut from. No coarse fibred inferior hides ever enter into the production of Allen's Sole Strips. The Allen standard pro hibits the use of anything bul the best. These we distributed as evenly as possible, notifying our , trade at the same time of our inability (on account of Gov ernment regulations and requirements) to serve them as we had for over 30 years. NO W conditions are different. Our tanneries are on a peace-time basis. We can supply Allen's Sole Strips (the kind with the yellow Allen trade mark) in any quantity ancTef the same uniform and satis factory quality that has been the acknowledged leader and "Standard of Comparison" for over 30 years. When buying sole leather insist on getting Allen's Sole Strips; leather that is backed and guaranteed by the world's largest tanners. Allen's Sole Strips are easily identified. To buy intelligently, look for the words "Allen's Sole Strip" embossed on each strip and the Allen label specifying tbe grade. When your shoes need re-soling, it is to YOUR advantage to ask for Allen's leather. N. R. ALLEN'S SONS COMPANY, Kenosha, Wisconsin niT A J ITDCAsk your lohber. LL,lLnj Sole Strips.
