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 markets 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 made, on honor, as pure as can be made, and is warranted three moDtbs. By an ingenious contrivance a space iB 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, ana the sole 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 only one-eighth at the shank. A descriptive circular can bo obtained by sending a postal direct to the company; or the “95” Boots can be found at most of"the stores.
