There Is Always Boom at the Top.

Daniel Webster once said to a young struggling lawyer: “ Young man, seek for eminence in your calling—there’s always room at the top." This remark has passed into a popular proverb, and has received another illustration in the wonderful success of the “ 95 Per Cent. Sterling Rubber Boot” When the Oandee Co. first put these goods on the market there was a general prediction of failure, on account of the relative high price necessarily asked for a boot of such quality. But the utter worthlessness of all other rubber boots had filled the community with indignation, and the fact that the company had themselves faith enough in the goods to give a three months’ warrant on them, and to stamp that warrant on the boots, and to provide a place for a permanent record of the date of sale so as to fix the duration of the warrant, showed a degree of confidence and good faith which tempted buyers to give the boots a trial. And a trial so fully demonstrated the great worth and economy of the boots that they are gradually displacing all the cheaper goods. Bolid merit always wins.
