WELTED BOOTS OF WORTH. THE MELBOURNE’S FAMOUS 16/9 LINE. A word or two about tho history of the Melbourne Clothing Company’s wonderful Welted Boots for iitcn before you come to see and demonstrate it. When we offered this boot some three years ago at 16s 9d (an unheard and unbelievable price those days), wo know wo were giving tho public a standard of value that would not only make tho high-priced boot a fad, but would give every man of moderate income tho pleasure of enjoying what was then the “rich man’s luxury”—a genuine welted boot. Public appreciation was almost instantaneous. So enormous was tho demand, so splendidly did the boot live up to tho endurance and service we claimed for it, that the record of tho growth of our business reads like a romance. Your decision to buy a Melbourne Wolted Boot at IGs oci will bo created by tho boot itself, not by an advertisement—at least, wo hope so. And, finally, remember that our interest in customers docs not end with sale of these boots, but begins with the purchase of a pair.* Pumps! Pumps! Pumps!—Gould’s Lift and Lift and Force, from 14s each; also, rams, f rom -los each. A large assortment of pipe and fittings always in stock.—McMillan and Freclric. Bmadwav, Stratford.*
