SHOPS AND PUBLIC BENEFIT

SHUSH “PATRIATA” SHOES ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FROM THE LOCAL FACTORY When one looks into the question, ime is surprised at the many advantages that accrue to so many people ram buying shoes that are made in New Zealand. To the ordinary man-in-the-street t'ho walks into a shop to buy a pan of shoes, there is, of course, the tremendous advantage that he is buying • n article made in liis own country by his fellow-countrymen, who knovN “xactly what he needs. Messrs. Ct. A. ' oles and Co., Ltd., the makers of the amous "Patriata” shoes have studied New Zealand’s requirements and have ad lasts specially made to fit the People. Another advantage in buying ‘*Patriata” shoes is that, they are made from Aew Zealand leathers wherever possible, so that both the local farmers n nd tanners and their employees are helped.

But perhaps the greatest advantage 'omes to the retail shopkeeper, who l- an so readily replace his stocks of Patriata” shoes direct from the local -aetory, instead of waiting months for °verseas orders to be shipped. Coles ari d Co. make every kind of footwear for every member of the family, and Jheir factory is always going full time. ;' e w Zealand shopkeepers can there’ore their exact requirements as o.uickly and as often as they need.
