The Best Rubber Boot.

There is nothing better for a farmer or outdoor man than a good rubber boot, and nothing so exasperating as a bad one. Competition among manufacturers has led to such a cheapening of quality that until lately it was a hard thing to find a rubber boot really worth the money asked for it. The Candee Rubber Co., of New Haven, Ct., however, has lately put on the mai ket a boot designed to meet the call for a real good, substantial article, and to denote its freedom from adulterative mixtures it is called the “95 Per Cent. Sterling Boot.” It is n ade, on honor, as pure as can be made, and is warranted three months. By an ingenious contrivance a space is provided at the top of the leg for recording the date of the sale, by punching holes in the spaces provided—like a railroad ticket—so that there may be no trouble about the warrant The upper and leg of the “95” Boots are doubled, and the soles are one-half inch thick, of solid rubber from toe to heel. Ordinary rubber boots are barely a quarter inch thick in the thickest part, and enly oneeighth at the shank. A descriptive circular cau bo obtained by sending a postal direct to the company; or the “95” Boots can be found at most of the stores.
