WINTER GOODS! WH. McCOMOCIIIE, DRAPER, &c., ST. S&XKASS. GUI BOOTS! ANNUAL SHIPMENT FOR 1879. , TO, McCONNOCHIE Begs to advise Miners anil 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. He has no doubt they will prove* a great improvement upon the former boots. The following is an extract of a letter received from the Manager of the North British Rubber Company, Edinburgh “Wo 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 send you a ship- “ ment of boots answering to the descrip- “ tion given by you in that letter, viz - “ with an alteration with respect to qua- “ lity, and of increase in thickness of the “ soles, which we trust will be approved “ of, as we really trust they will from “ actual trial. This surface sole is of a “liner 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 determined 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 “ tine quality. This boot being lighter, “ we can do it at same price as ordinary “ boots. We are always prepared to re- “ ccive your valued suggestions.” Note.— Upon examining this new shipment of North British Gum Boots, I 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 wear through the boot, and sometimes give uneasiness to the wearer.
