Found this in a box of postcards I bought. I thought that it was a cool advertisement. I am not sure what Allen's Foot-Ease is, but it was probably earl Dr. Scholls. If you hold the paper doll at the top of her head with her foot touching the table, you can move her forward and her foot rotates making it look like she is really walking.
