A GUARANTEE FROM THE MANOVli FACTURER I claim that these shoes are made of the best leather that can be produced; there is no shoddy in them; they will wear equal to any custom made shoe that would cost you $3.00. There is a de mand for an honest shoe at a low price warranted by the manufacturer. I claim these shoes to be stitched with the best of silk, and the bottoms are sewed on with best of Barbour's thread which is imported from Scotland. These shoes are made on the latest improved lasts, and you will find them an easy fit; after you have tried one pair, you will wear none that are not stain od on the bottom. A. A.
