Description
Black and white 10″ x 13″ ad for their Athletic Shoes. The headline calling it “The Shoe of Champions” is over pictures of a man making a serve in tennis, another about to make a return in handball and a picture of The Original Celtics – National Professional Basketball Champions. Claims are made that a large number of players in all three of these sports wear Keds. The ad shows a picture of the Basketball Shoe and an All-Purpose Shoe which together probably covered the whole field of sports. The prices ranged from $1.25 to $4.50 and the ad claimed that “They are not Keds unless the name Keds is on the shoe”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
