BOOTS! BOOTS! BOOTS! Christmas has gone ; the weather is breaking up, and Winter will soon be here. "HOW IS YOUR POOR FEET?" THIS is a common saying, but a very significant one. Your feet should be kept perfectly dry at any cust. To effect this, get them encased in a Double-soled Boot, made to your measure out of ENGLISH LEATHER, with a broadish sole, and not too high a heel. Get tbe bootmakei to put between the soles some Waterproof Felt, this will effectually prevent the damp from striking the feet. A stranger "coming into a town and requiring boots, knows well that he is safe in going to a long ESTABLISHED HOUSE, to a man who has a REPUTATION to sustain, feeling assured he will get better served there than anywhere else. To keep up this name, the undersigned has NOW LANDED a SHIPMENT of ENGLISH LEATHER, of an excellent quality, together with a winter's supply of Prout's celebrated WATERPROOF 'DUBBIN, and Everett's unrivalled BLACKING. N.8.--Any person having Boots Made to their Measure, fitting remarkably well, and wishing to have the forms preserved on which they were made, can either buy them or have them set aside for their especial use. &• NOTE THE ADDRESS— W.
