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.
MEASUREMENT BLANKS will be furnished on application, or a player can take
a piece of manilla paper of sufficient size, and by following the
directions herein given, can take his own measure.
Place the foot flat on the paper, and with a pencil draw around the foot
close to it. Then take other measurements as shown in the cut.
