Sir—You stated to me when you took my order for Oil-skin Coats for myself and Mr Gillbanksj that the articles would be much superior to anything of the kind I had ever seen before* 1 desire to inform you that I have used oil-skins for the last sixteen years, but I never found any to answer so well as yours. They are thoroughly waterproof, and are comfortable to walk in. It is a matter of surprise to me that you have not advertised such admirable articles, as I feel convinced that they need only to be known to bd extensively worn. Reference to Mr Passmore, farmer, Teremakau, or to Mr Gillbank, will prove that I haye not overstated the case.—l am, sir,yours truly, John Wills.
