Zealandla boots. THE WINTER having fairly set m, one of the most important questions discussed m every household is where can we obtain really GOOD BOOTS I The Public want Boots that will keep out the damp, and that will wear well and re comfortable. All these qualifications can be obtained at moderate prices without any trouble or risk by purchasing nothing but the oele brafced ZEALANDIA BRAND. These Grand Boots are sold from Auckland to the Bluff, and the universal verdict is -the most satisfactory Boot m New Zealand, and the best value. The finest material and best workman ship are employed, and so confident are the Manufacturers of the sterling quality of these Boots that they actually qua -an tee every pair bearing the Zealandu Brand to give good wear. Should any pair fail, the Retailor is authorised to adjust the claim of the purchaser. In addition to the every day lines, * large number of new lines has been especially manufactured for the Winter Trade. Strong Farm Boots for Men and Women a Specialty, and attention is directed to the Splendid Stitched Water tight and Shooter Boots, very suitable and comfortable for country work. Boys', Girls', and Women's Boots o this Celebrated Brand m a great variety. Every pair is branded on the sole ZEALANDIA. Thss Brand has m the past been favorably known m the Ashburton district, and m future the public can obtain full supplies at Mr JT, Bishop's ZEALANDIA BOOT STORK, TANORED STREET, ASHBURTON
