There's one rubber boot
/ that has “made good"
in Alaska, and that's the
Goodrich
HIPRESS
White Boot
«<with the Red-Line ’round the Top”
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“HIPRESS” has done, it's GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich “IMPRESS” Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don't have to halt -
sole them with leather—they far outwear hol>
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual service is that
“Hd PRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the satnc tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split! They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it’s working. We promise that once you start
wearing White ’TilPRESS” you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has a Red-Line ’round the Top.
