1944 Roblee Shoes Ad ~ Paratrooper Boots ~ Syd Hoff Cartoon

Original vintage magazine ad for Roblee Shoes. Ad shows a pair of paratrooper boots (which were not for sale to the general public) and boasts that they are one of the manufacturers chosen to make boots for soldiers. Also features a military cartoon by Syd Hoff.

Tagline or sample ad copy: ...this "high-reaching" paratrooper boot isn't for sale. We're one of the manufacturers chosen to make boots for those daredevils who "drop from the skies ready, willin' and fightin'." Made by the makers of Roblee with a lot of care--and plenty of respect for the boys who'll wear them.
