SPECIAL TO FARMERS. We are now in a position to supply the farmers of Huron with a large stock of first-class hand -made Boots for the com- ing wet weather. Last fall we were unable to keep up with the demand for our own manu- facture of Kip Boots, and, as a consequence, we lost sales, but this season we secured a first-class mechanic, who has been working all summer mak- ing nothing but Canadian and French Kip Boots. The result is we have between 74 and 100 pairs in sizes and half sizes, and on different widths, for you to choose from. Our boots have a reputation second to none for wearing qualities, as all work goes under personal supervision, and eery pair guaranteed. , In addition to our own make we have just received five cases ' of FACTORY MADE BOOTS, The products of the best shoe factories in Canada.
