Charles Addams's New Yorker cartoon from the issue of July 21, 1962 has no caption, but there are still quite a few words to take in. The key word is right in the middle of the factory wall so you won't miss it.

Note: The spot artist's signature is there in full—and I still can't read it. Give a shout if your vision is better than mine.
In his 1964 wedding announcement, the Times described the drawing's recipient, Marten Loewengart, as a tanning company officer. So it may really have been the shoe subject that interested him in this cartoon.
I am eager to fill this blog with images of original art by Charles Addams. Please let me know what you have. After all, Halloween is coming.
