R. HANNAH & CO., LTD. Worshippers at the shrine of footi wear’s fashion never had greater i opportunities than now for paying | tucir Homage. This year, more than , ever, Hannah & Co., Ltd., Wanganui’s i leading boot specialists, are worxing on I the policy of giving their clients the I greatest possible value.

Again, the firm pride themselves on the reliability of their goods and their up-to-dateness. [ Lt is only necessary to state that the j Wanganui branch was established as 1 far back as 1867 to prove that the . firm has won. and enjoyed the confii donee of the public over a very long period of time. The Wanganui branch ni rhe Avenue to-day is a much more pretentious affair than that in which the firm opened here 55 years ago. The , present shop opposite Chavannes’ j Hotel, carries a very full stock of the I firm’s well known manufactures, as wed as leading lines from the world’s best makers. They have a splendid assortment oilmen’s black and tan boots I and black and tan shoes. A wide range of sporting shoes figures in the I offering, which should give satisfac- ' tion to tennis players and bowlers. ■ Hannah’s specialise in boys’ boots, | which have been specially constructed [to stand wear and tear.

Hannah’s have not forgotten that there are young New Zealanders, and their display of kiddies’ shoes is a very fine one. A nice selection of slippers , should come in Opportunely for Christmas presents. Another line which will ,be welcomed is the ladies’ smart light walking shoes. In white goods Messrs.
