In addition to the evening shoes are the famous Bostock brand of goods. Boots for golfing, for walking and for general winter wear. A host of varieties in children's boots, with goloshes of all sizes, serve to make up a complete shoe store. Mr Carpenter has this season made a study of men's special interests, hence he is introducing a porpoise hide cookham boot, box calf and other waterproof boots are also kept. The famous- American 'Walkover' boot and the non-tread-over give to men an abundant choice. All the leading English and colonial makes. amongst the latter being the Zealandia/McLeod's and Premier brands. Boots for golf, shooting, or for walking, with leggings, are also kept. For home comfort, slippers in cloth, felt and leather are kept in abundance; for the country worker goloshes and gum boots. Ihe repair staff are thoroughly reliable in their method of work.
