This advertisement comes from a 1945 issue of Punch.
The Liberty Shoe factory, designed by H.H. Thompson and built in 1918-19, stood on Eastern Boulevard. It was Listed in 1993 but fell into a state of disrepair and was demolished ten years later.
Inevitably - this is Leicester - a block of student flats went up in its place.
The factory was topped by its own Statue of Liberty, which is still to be found nearby.
