SPALDING'S SPECIAL HAND MADE KANGAROO BALL SHOE. IMPROVED FOR 1889. No. 2-0 ... Price, $7.00. We now have on the third floor of our New York store a thoroughly equipped Shoe Factory for the manufacture of fine Base Ball and Athletic Shoes. This department of our business is under the immediate charge and supervision of Wm. Dowling, who for several years past has enjoyed the reputation of being the leading maker of Athletic Shoes in New York. We employ in this department the most skilful workmen, and use only the very best material, and are prepared to take special orders and make a special last for professional players. The special attention of Ball players is called to our new genuine KANGAROO BASE BALL SHOE. The above cut represents this Shoe, which is made from selected genuine Kangaroo skin, all hand sewed, slipper heel, cut low in front, and wide, so they can be laced tight or loose as the player likes. Each pair is provided with porpoise laces, and the whole Shoe made with reference to comfort and the hard usage required of it. Our new Hand Forged Shoe Plates--for toe and heel--will be riveted on when required, without additional expense. HOW TO MEASURE. |
