Show THE DOUGLAS SHOE. The best advertised and consequently consequent-ly the best known shoe In the world today Is undoubtedly made by the W. L. Douglas Shoe Co., of Brockton. Mass. The one idea of this company has always been to Sell a shoe for $3.50 which equals in every way the $5 shoes of any other concern. They are able to do this on account of there being be-ing no middle man's profit, as the goods are sold direct from the factory to the wearer. In 60 of the principal cities of the country they have .their own retail stores. The goods are made In all sizes and widths, and few shoes equal them for style and durability. The factory at Brockton' employs over 1.100 handB, and all labor troubles trou-bles are Ee'.tied by the state board of arbitration. Nothing but union labor I vTnln-ucA - o-nA nav ak-iHt the best I average wages cf any shoe workers ta the United States. The factory pay roll amounts to S7.435 per week. This ' company makes snoes for men only, ! and It is their proud boaBt that over one million men wear them. Denver (Colo.) Post. |
