Thursday, November 8, 1934 The above is the name of that little article that saves the housewife a lot of worry. WORRY, it is said, is the thing that "kills", and most persons desire life—and as free from worry as it is possible to make it. What ,Are HEELERS? In reply they are a most simple devise or appliance that FITS ON THE HEEL (outside the sock) OF THE MAN OR THE BOY WHO WEARS: RUBBER BOOTS. RUBBER BOOTS ARE JUST ABOUT THE BEST WET WEATHER FOOTWEAR KNOWN TO MAN but they have a very serious defect, in that THEY SLIP AT THE HEELS AND WEAR OUT THE SOCKS and, the consequence is that the wo- man of the house is called upon quite frequentlyi to DARN THE SOCKS and this added to the multiplicity, of house duties is oftimes "a real worry". Now HEELERS will preclude this possibility—in fact they are A REAL PANACEA for this trouble—they are made of nice soft kip leather with an elastic band that fits over the instep, and intwodays after you start to wear them they mould around your heel perfectly. WHERE CAN YOU GET HEELERS? Well, as far as we know there is just one place, namely at the Leading Shoe Store in Wingham. WE MAKE THEM and sell them, If you have this trouble (and practically all have who weal rubber boots) you can completely overcome this vexation FOR JUST 35 Cents. Try a pair -you will surely be pleased with the results that follow, Willis' Shoe t Phone 129 The Leading Shoe Store tr Wingham 1 spent Sunday afternoon with her dau- ghter and son-in-law, at Auburn.
