WELTED BOOTS OF WORTH. THE MELBOURNE’S FAMOUS 16/9 LINE. A word or two about tlio liistory of the Melbourne Clothing Company’s wonderful Welted Boots for men before you come to see and demonstrate it. When we offered this boot some three years ago at I6s !)d (an unheard and unbelievable price those days), we knew wo wore giving the public a standard of value that would not only make the high-priced boot a fad, but would give every man of moderate income tlie pleasure of enjoying what was then the “rich man’s luxury”—a genuine welted boot. Public appreciation was almost instantaneous. So enormous was the demand, so splendidly did the boot live up to the endurance and service wo claimed for if, that the record of the growth of our business roads like a romance. Your decision to buy a Melbourne Welted Boot at 16S 9d will bo created by the boot itself, not by an advertisement — at least, wo hope so. And, finally, remember that our interest in customeis does not end with sale of these boots, but begins with the purchase of a pair.* If you want to cure your cough, take Tonking’s Linseed Emulsion; hom all chemists and stores—ls 6d, 2s Gd, 4s Gd.*
