When you buy Bea
cons, you get both
looks and merit.
Let us tell you why.
FOR MEN
are shoes with a "conscience honest all through." You don't
have to take our word for this fact. You can find it out by
actual experience. The Beacon appeals to you at sight, because
it is really a swell shoe. It makes your feet grateful, because it
gives perfect ease in any and all positions.
You will be surprised to learn how long the Beacon wears ,
and how many hard knocks it stands. That is because it is made
as a good shoe ought to be made.
Union workmen put the Beacon together, by the
genuine Lroodyear Welt Hand-Sewd process the
very same process that is applied to shoes tiat sell at
$4.00 to $8.00.
You only need to touch the Beacon to tell that the leather is good.
Just step in at a Beacon dealers and see this wonderful shoe, next
time you are passing. He won't urge you to buy. We
only want you to know how good the Beacon really is.
