Comments: An early American advertising flyer, simply printed on rough paper, but very evocative of the type of advertising in the Victorian era. Few items like this survive, and expecially appealing for the woodcuts of shoes. This comes from Wakefield MA, the next town north from my hometown of Melrose!
