WELTED BOOTS OF WORTH. THE MELBOURNE’S FAMOUS 16/9 LINE. A word or two about tho history of tho Melbourne Clothing Company’s wqnderful Welted Boots for men 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), we knew we 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 income the pleasure of enjoying what was then the “x-ich 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 the endurance and service we claimed for it, that the record of the growth of our business leads 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, we hope so. And, finally, remember that our interest in customers does not end with sale of these boots but begins with the purchase r / pair.* Large consignments of the new spring and summer fashions, in millinery, ladies’ costumes, I -.louses, etc., ai-’o now arriving at A.
