The age of scuffy shoes

Notice the number of scuffy,
dirty, shoes: on the men these
days?

There was a time — inthe good
old days that weren't so long ago
‘at that — when the man who con.
sidered himself well-dressed
wouldn’t be caught dead out of
doors unless his shoes sparkled,

. Not any more.

-. Maybe he’sa husband whe won't
pay his teenaged Kids the price
they demand to shine his shoes.
’ (Baby sitting pays at least
30-75 cents an hour; ., , Why
shine shoes for a lousy dime?, . ,)

Perhaps he’s a bachelor, As
any married man knows, a bache-

lor can pay, any time, 50 cents
to a bootblack,

Oh, no. . . Try and find a
bootblack,

Ki isn’t the half-buck — with
the basic charge nowadays of
35 cents, can the shine give
anything less than a 15-cent tip’?
—that’s the cause of the dusty
shoes, There seems to be a
scarcity of bootblacks,

Husband or bachelor, have you

Not any more.

The shoeshine parlor, too, has
fallen victim to the high-rent
Squeeze, The parlors are few
and far between now: and the
reason, @ personal survey has
determined, is high rent,

Rents for a modest little store
{in the cities run from $100 a
month up, And an operator must
shine a lat of shoes, even at
the inflated 50-cent price, to pay
the rent and light bills and buy
his equipment, Thus they are
fading away,

That throws the wotld-he well-
dressed man back upon his own
resources and when he must do
the job himself, he won’t shine
his shoes as often as he used
to have them done by others,

For the man with a home work.

an idea to ease a dirty job and

legislators that make up our
