Knitting machines have never ac
quired the knack of producing gar
ments so comfortable and warm
as those knitted by woman's hands.
Xlier* may be something pyschologi
cai in that—perhaps the soldiens
feel the sentiment in tho latter and
the impersonal character in ^he
former—at least it is true.
Knitting stands for something
more than mero insurance against
cold weather. It stands for Bound,
true courage at home, for tight,
clo&f bound unity between the wo
man in the house and the| man
at the front. "Knit, for the world
knty's with you!"

THESE BOOTS i
SPRING A L!
m
HEY'RE "HIPRESS"
Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That's one
reason why they're so different from
the ordinary boot, the sole and
upper of which are stuck together
by hand.
"HIPRESS" Boots are made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other boot made. And
they're the foot-easiest boot you ever
wore. 40,000 dealers.
