Novel Service Breaks In New Shoes
Breaking in stiff new shoes for persons with tender feet or for women who want to squeeze a size-eight foot into a size-six shoe, is one of the unique services performed by the operators of a New York City firm. A corps of girls takes on this unenviable task, while the proprietors busy themselves with other unusual requests of clients, such as filling a midnight call for a violinist to play a sick child to sleep, and first scouting around for and then purchasing two penguins as a present for a pet lover.

‘for women who want to squeeze a size-eight foot into a size-six shoe’… I cannot imagine doing this. I can only go down about a half-size before my feet protest. I am so glad I’m not so vain that I must wear a tiny shoe.
