About Rubber Boots.

Undue oompetition between manufacturer* has led to an extent of adulteration and cheapening of material never before known In the business. Crude rubber has the quality of absorbing or of becoming incorporated with a very large quantity of cheap and bulky subetancea like lampblack, ehalk, etc., which cannot be detected by the uninitiated, and which impair the durability of the goods. People call for low-priced goods, not reflecting that low prices always mean low quality. The result is they waste meney on “wild cat ” rubber boots, when an extra dollar or two would buy them a pair which will wear to their utmost satisfaction a whole season or more. The “95 Per Cent Sterling Rubber Boot,” manufactured by the Candee Rubber Company, New Haven, Ct, is meant to reform this abuse, and is well worth the inspection of those who need a real good article. Every store dealing in the “95 Percent. Sterling Rubber Boots”'is supplied with a sample cut open to show the construction. They are warranted three months, and the storekeeper will punch the date of sale in the top of the leg of each boot
