Our Boot & Shoe Factory, in starting, had many difficulties to overcome, and we are glad that to-day those diificulties have been surmoanted, and we are now well able to com- pete with the best Boot and Shoe Factories abroad. Some of the advantages purchasers have in buying from us are,saving of freight,ordering goods when you want them (not six months before), getting them without delay—which saves carrying a large stock which deterivrates on the shelves. Our leathers are bought directly from the tanneries, thereby saving commissions which many factories have to pay. We are more determined than ever to give the Beast OF SATISFACTION and to merit the whole of the Island’s patronage.
