MORE NEWS OF BARKER SHOES

The following is taken from a letter from the Cape Town Agents for the Sir Herbert Barker Shoe:-

"A stray customer who had been suffering agonies for years through wearing short shoes, and whose feet are one mass of corns and, callouses, was fitted with a pair of Sir Herbert Barker's.)

"A week later he was back for a second pair. Have you found them comfortable? he was asked. 'Comfortable"-—Look here Boy, don't laugh at me, wait till I'm gone, but do you know, I want to wear those shoes to bed because the blankets give my corns hades."
