Now you can take advantage of one of the greatest shoe offers ever run. Because to get a $3 discount on any pair of Jox' sport shoes, all you have to do is collect four Quality Seals from any Coronet' quality paper products. From Coronet paper towels, bath tissue, nap-kins or facial tissue. Once you've collected the Seals, just mail them to the address shown below. In return, we'll send you a $3 certificate

which you can redeem at any Thom McAn shoe store. (Limit: one certi-ficate per each purchase of Jox.) You can send away for as many certificates as you wish, but each request must be mailed in a separate envelope. So if you're looking for a bargain on shoes, don't walk all over town. Just walk over to your supermarket. Georgia Pacific
