This is a wonderful vintage advertising blotter for 'The Steadfast Shoe.' The blotter features a classic illustration of a man in a pith helmet, smoking, and holding binoculars, embodying the spirit of 'Thro' Life's Travels Wear.' It promotes shoes made by Smith-Briscoe Shoe Co., Inc. of Lynchburg, VA, and sold by Roanoke Shoe Co. of Roanoke, VA. The design evokes an early 20th-century aesthetic, making it a charming piece of ephemera for collectors of vintage advertising, shoe memorabilia, or Virginia history. The blotter is in good condition for its age, with minor wear consistent with vintage paper items. A great addition to any collection. Measures 4 x 9.5 inches
