WINTER GOODSI WM. McCOMOCIIIE, DRAPER, &c., 35f. SASS&tt. GUM BOOTS! ANNUAL SHIPMENT FOR 1879. WM. McCONNOCHIE Begs to advise Miners and the Trade generally that he has just received another shipment of North British Gum Boots, manufactured specially to his order, a sample of which will be left at the various centres of the surrounding business places, lie has no doubt they will prove a great improvement upon the former boo s. 4 The following is an extract of a letter received, from the Manager of the North British Rubber Company, Edinburgh : “We were favoured with a call, in “ October last, from our mutual friend “ late of your place, who showed us your “ letter of the 31st. August, and with “ whom we arranged to wend you a ship- “ ment of boots answering to the dcscrip. “ tion given by you in that letter, viz*- “ with an alteration with respect to qua- “ lity, and of increase in thmuness of the “ soles, which we trust will be approved “ of. ns we really trust they will from “ actual trial. This surface sole is of a “ finer quality of compressed gum, and “ will, as regards rubbing or friction “ amongst rocks or rubble, assuredly “ stand much better than ordinary boots. “ We determined on this when we found “we could do it within your limits. We “further detennined to let you see some “of another make, namely, a ease with “ boots having the soles of ordinary “thickness and the uppers both of the “ line quality. This boot being lighter, “we can do it at same price as ordinary “ boots. We are always prepared to re- “ ceive your valued suggestions.” Note.- Upon examining this new shipment of Noith British Hum Boots, 1 observe the Company have succeeded at last in permanently fixing the heels without, the aid of screws or nails, which is a vast improvement upon the others, as the nails used to weipr through the boot, and sometimes give uneasiness to the wearer.
