For Better Rubbers
Don’t ask for “Pacs” but ask for
THE “BALL-BAND” YUKON
especially designed and built
for the nen of Alaska.
Only the best quality of pure gum rubber is used and the
shoe is vulcanized by Special Process, thoroughly uniting
all parts of the upper, the sole, the stays and linings into
a one-piece construction that defies hard wear. The
sturdy rubber bottom is well reinforced where other
rubbers soon wear through.
Rubbers built like these will stand freezing, -scuffing,
stubbing and the daily grind of working in rock or wet
gravel.
Set a pair of “Ball-Band” Yu
kons beside a pair of any other
brand—compare the finish and
the workmanship — you can
easily see that the “Ball-Band”
shoe is superior.
Then remember that “Ball
Band” footwear is worn by nine
and one-half million people, who
have learned by experience that
the Red Ball trade-mark stands
for the utmost in quality,
service, and satisfaction.

in every pair
