He gave us to understand that we were cntting the best leather of any shop in Mussels. Three out of every four pair of Boots that we made last fall are good for anoth- er year. We exhibited our loath- er at the Fall Show here and re- ceived First Prize. Is there any blarney or false honor about these facts ? Other shops can cut this quality of leather if they are willing to pay the price. If they did they would not grow rich quite so fast. It pays better to cut "Excelcis- simus" Kip, "Slaughter" Kip, "French" Kip, (Tanned at New- market, Ont.) "Keifer" calf, &c., &c.
