A 1914 advertisement for The Foster Rubber Company, Cat’s Paw Rubber Heels, featuring members of the World Champion Boston Braves:
“Pennant winners must have sound legs and steady nerves.”
Johnny Evers:
“The change from spiked shoes into street shoes that have Cat;’s Paw Rubber Heels. The heels make walking on cement a pleasure–and ten percent easier on the feet and legs.”
Bill James:
“I’m more afraid of a slippery sidewalk than a pair of flying spikes.”
Rabbit Maranvile:
“I have to use spikes for speed on the field; for comfort on unyielding sidewalks and pavements I use Cat’s Paw Rubber Heels. They’re great.”
