STANDARDISED BOOTS
AN IMPORTANT EXPLANATION.
During the course of a meeting held on March 2S between representatives of the New Zealand Boot Manufacturers' Association and the Board of Trade, it was stated that several boot retailers had adopted -the practice of placing placards in their windows indicating that ."standardised boots" were on eale at their particular shops. The secretary of the Board of Trade yesterday said that the object sought was no doubt to persuade the public that the boots were Government standard boots. The faots were, however, that the boots which were now being offered to the public were not . those which' were to be issued under the uspices of the New Zealand Government Board of Trade. These boots were now in process of manufacture, and it was expected would be available to the public shortly. They would all be stamped with 'a registered brand on the sole, together with the retail price, and would be guaranted as to 'quality. Purchasers of Government standard footwear should hare no difficulty in ' ecognising the goods once they were placed in the hands of distributors.
