A Wonder !

In most of the papers may be seen an announcement of a mew rubber boot, made by tho Candee Rubber Co., of New Haven, Ct. This boot marks a new era in the manufacture of rubber goods, and is called the “95 l’er Cent. Sterling,” to denote its high quality, and is covered by no less than seven patents, all owned by the Candee Co.! One of the boots, split to show its exact character, is on exhibition at the stores, and shows an article for genuine service that is seemingly indestructible. The Company warrants these boots three months, although there is abundant testimony that the boots will stand six months’ hard wear every day. The “ Candee ”is the largest rubber goods company in the world, tnd its warrant is equal to a bond. One of the patents referred to covers a binding for the top of tho leg, in which are engraved spaces for every day and month in the year, so that the storekeeper can punch out the date of sale, and so fix beyond dispute the duration of the three months’ warrant Altogether, it is the most wonderful boot that has yet appeared.
