‘XTEXT time your boots wear
out, buy a pair of “Hipress”
Boots and you’ll find it will be a
long spell before you need an
other pair.
“Hinress” outwears any boot ever
made. There’s a mighty good reason,
for “Hipress” isn’t “built up” like
other boots. It’s welded into o::e solid
piece without a seam—so there’s no
place for it to leak—and it s actually
made of the same extra tough rubber
that goes into Goodrich tires. Also it’s
the boot for solid comfort.

| BANDMASTER SOUSA
SHAVES FAMOUS BEARD
CHICAGO, Dec. 3. — John Philip
Sousa, American band master, has
shaved off his famous beard.
As a lieutenant, Mr. Sousa found
himself and Commander Griggs the
only two among 17,999 men at the
Great Lakes station who wore beard3.
So he decided to join the smooth shav
en majority.
BLUFF an’ boast are props
for a weak case. VELVET
is its own argument in the
court of last resort—yo* pipe.
