LIFE: ARTTN ARTI | shoe-service- by-post is an innovation asradical as the original Martin & Martin idea of furnishing real custom lines and guality in ready-to- wear shoes,a field in which their New York and Chicago establishments remain unique. If you have been a patron of either of these shops, you know what Martin & Martin shoeservice means—anexperience worth going across the continent for, as many have done when they could not get it otherwise. Our new service-by-post means simply that youcan get this extraordinary service wherever and whenever you want it. We have perfected new methods of showing and fitting our shoes at a distance, and invite the opportunity of demonstrating their efficiency. Upon request we will furnish real photographic reproductions—7 x 9 carbon prints—of the cur- rent models for street, dress or sporting wear. Ifyou are not now a patron of the shops, and do not wish to send money with each order, you may open an account by furnishing the usual commercial references, Your purchases will then be charged to your account. Your satisfaction is guaranteed in every case, Perfect records are kept of all our fittings, and all you will need to do after your first order is to write or wire your requirements as to kinds of shoes or occasion of wearing and the right shoes will go forward within the hour—all at our and upon our guaranty of perfect satisfaction. It is the solution of a vexing problem for those who live away from the centers of population, or who are traveling or visiting. Our ready-to-wearshoes, built upon our life-long experience as custom boot-makers, and the only shoes of similar character and quality ever offered ready-to-wear, are sold from SEVEN DOLLARS UPWARD ARTI eo?
