RUBBERS!
There is one little item of ex
pense that we all overlook and
that is the money that we spend
on rubber footwear. To most
of us a pair of rubbers are just
a pair of rubbers and that’s all.
Well, this year we started in
in time to get the best line of
rubbers that have ever been
shown in Seward, and we have
them in stock now.
STRAIGHT LINE
That’s the name, and they are
made by
B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co.
They are the best and when
you need rubbers, come in and
