We hear that Mr Lingard. of this city, has applied for protection throughout the world for a patent pneumatic boot heel Uial he has discovered. Those who have tried on boots adjusted with the heel assert that walking is rendered perfectly noiseless, together with the fact that while, walking oh the hardest pavements the disagreeable concussion invariably experienced by pedestrians is completely done away with. Mr John Kirkcaldie and several experts are of the opinion that this pneumatic heel, which is understood to cost when adjusted to the heel under Gd per pair, will revolutionise the boot trade, and predict a golden future to the discoverer, while many think that this simple little invention will bring in as lunch or more to its luckv owner as did the Thinlop tyre to its inventor. We wish Mr Lingard success. -6* " Promises mnv get friends, but. ’tis per formances that keep them.” Yon will never lose a friend if yon give him only A. and B. Mackay’s Liqueur w hisky. 11
