Do you think ib la true ? It's a fact sir ! I jnsfc bought) this pair of shooters at Mellor'e, and they only cost me 10s ; if I went anywhere else for them they would have cosb me a lot more. Take my advice, the next pair of boota or shoes yon want for yourself or family, go to Mellor'a Zealandia Boot Store for them. He has thousands of pairs to pick from, and his prices are much cheaper than any other firm in Ashburton. Thanks old man, I will certainly bay my next from MeJlor. By tho way: Yon might give me his address % Oh 1 Everybody knows that Mellor's Zealandia Boot Stora is in Tailed Street, Ashbarfcors.
