AN OUNCE OF FACT IS WORTH A TON OF FICTION. " Mr M'Kay. Dear Sir,— On May 2od of last year I chose this pair of '• Zealandia " boots from the general stock in the City Boot Palace I wor« them frequently about Dunedin during the following six months, and then almost daily from November 2 till January 27 (86 days) for 1,050 miles, walking over the interior of Otago, crossing a score of mountain ranges. On previous similar tramps I wore other makes, including real " Cook hams," but all those were in a sorry plight long before the journey's end. After twelve hundred miles* walking— mostly very rough— the original soles of this pair are still in fair condition, and the sewing of the same quite intact ; while, with the exception of a small hole in the crease of each heel, the uppers are good for another thousand miles. The boots received no special treatment— merely the application of neatefoot oil and blacking. Yours faithfully, alez. Don, Chinese Missionary. Dnncdin, February 8, 1892.
