NEW ZEALAND DEERSKIN
VALUE IN MANUFACTURE OF FOOTWEAR The value of New Zealand deerskin in the manufacture of heavy service boots was demonstrated. by a letter recently received by a Christchurch manufacturing firm from a customer now in England. When in New Zealand about 18 months ago, he was attracted by a pair of deerskin boots made by the firm, and ordered a pair for shooting on the Yorkshire moors. He said that if they gave satisfactory service he would order a number of pairs for his friends. Formerly they had been providing themselves with footwear not only in England, but also from specialists in America. The outcome was that the Christchurch firm received a letter speaking highly of their comfort and wear and ordering, rin all, seven more pairs. A friend of the ?lnglish customer wrote to the Department of Internal Affairs, stating the foregoing facts. He received a reply that the department was very much interested in the information supplied, and in knowing that the footwear was finding favour.
