WELTED BOOTS OF WORTH. THE MELBOURNE’S FAMOUS 16/3 LINE. A word or two about the history of the Melbourne Clothing Company’s wonderful Wolfed Boots for men before you come to see and demonstrate it. When we offered tins boot some throe years ago at 16s 9d (an unheard and unbelievable price those days), wo know wo were 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 in-->omo the nloasuro 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 it, that the vecord of the growth of our business leads like a romance. Your decision to buy a Melbourne Welted Hoot at 16S 9fl will bo created by the boot itself, not by an advertisement—it least, we hope so. And, finally, remember that our interest in customers does not end with sale of those boots, but begins with the purchase of a pair.* |
