BUCK-STRIP SHOES
FOR MEN AND WOMEN—FOR OUTING OR WORK
They ate truly a wonderful perfection of a PA
TENTED CONSTRUCTION. The Entire Vamp or the
foot part of the shoe is lined thru-out with a natural
calf leather which gives it double water resistancy.
The Buck-Strip which is sewed all around and over
that Seam of the Shoe where the upper leather con
nects with the vamp or foot part will enable the shoe
to preclude water also the Buck-Strip which extends
around the forepart of the vamp is intended to retain
the Shape of the shoes at all time.
The leather is carefully selected and uniform in
quality. The soles are of Waggoner’s Pacific Hard
Oak Tanned Shoulder Leather.
All in all these special Features of construction
make it the only shoe of its kind on the market and
it has an advantage over all shoes yet made.
