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,
