AN OUNCE OF FACT IS WORTH A TON OF FICTION." Mr M'Kay Dear Sir,— On May 2nd of last year I chose this pair of " Zealandia " boots from the general stock in tbe City Boot Palace. I wore tbem frequently about Duredin dnring the followicg six months, and then almost daily fum hovember 2 till January 27 (68 days) for 1,050 miles, walkirg over the interior of Otago, crossing a Bcore of mountain ranges. On previous similar tramps I wore other makes, including real " Cookbams," 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 cf the same quite intnet ; while, with tbe exception of a small hole in the crease of each heel, the uppers are good for anotDer thoupand miles. The boots received no special treatment — merely the application of neatsfoot oil and blacking. Yours faithfully, Alex. Don, Chinese Missionary. Dnnedin, February 3, 1892.
