| TEXT | Shoes too narrow or too short produce great evils, but shoes both narrow and short give nature no opportunity to protect herself, and as a matter of course, she revenges herself upon the violation of her laws, troubling him with unceasing and unsupportable pains. Heels much too high and placed under the arch of the foot cause other evils, besides aggravating such as have been already described: the body is thrown forward and kept in an unnatural position. All these troubles are avoided by using the celebrated Waulkingphaust shape, manufactured by Mr. T. B. Bennell, the common sense shoemaker, No. 304 Broadway, near Duane Strset. This house was established in 1874 by the present proprietor, who has had thirty years' experience, and first introduced the Waulkingphaust system into the United States. Shoes made on this plan fit well in the waist, supporting the instep, and give ease and room to the little toe joint, and being straight on the inside avoid the ugly joints common to shoes made by all other shoemakers. This method prevents the running down of the heel, and being founded on sound principles, this shape lasts longer than ordinary boots and shoes made on the old principle. In the manufacture of hie shoes Mr. Bennell combines elegance, comfort and durability. Employing first-class workmen and using only the best French leather, and all work being hand-sewed, the proprietor confidently recommends his stock of boots and shoes as equal in every respect to custom work. In the stock will be found so many different sizes conforming to the natural shape of the foot. hat no difficulty will be found in fitting customers at once. Mr. Bennell is likewise a collector and dealer in coins, tokens, colonial and confederate notes, and will pay the highest prices for the above when in a good state of preservation. Coins bearing an early date are not necessarily at a premium because they are old, as it is not the age of a coin that makes it valuable, but the demand for the same, and it often happens that a coin of a very recent date will command a greatet price than one many centuries old. Mr. Bennell is considered to be the best judge of coins in this country, and publishes annually a very valuable "Premium Coin List," which describes, classifies, and sets a price on all coins and bills. This little book is of great value to bankers, brokers, merchants and others. He is greatly esteemed by the community for his sterling integrity, and those entrusting their orders to him will find their interests protected and guarded in every particular. |
