Thanks for the additional cool ads. A couple bring back childhood memories such as nagging my mother to buy me a pair of Buster Brown shoes so that I could get the "free" comic book accompanying the sale which was available through no other source. Of course, this added perhaps a $1.00 or $1.50 to the price compared to otherwise comparable shoes, which in today's money would be around $10 or $15. Pretty expensive comic!

But best of all is the X-ray like image above that reminds me of when friends after a Saturday afternoon matinee of Bugs Bunny and Abbot and Costello, would drag me into a shoe store where we would sneak to the back of the store and play around with their shoe fitting fluoroscope, watching the bones in our feet move around, until they threw us out.
