If The War Had Continued ! 



If the war had continued, the pair of 

 U. S. "Protected" rubber boots that you 

 will now be able to buy at your dealer's 

 this winter would have gone to France for 

 one of the boys "over there." 



But, as the trenches are empty, there is 

 no need for trench boots; so our Govern- 

 ment is now allowing us to provide heavy- 

 service, double-duty U. S. "Protected" 

 rubber footwear for the outdoor worker at 

 home. 



Uncle Sam has furnished "our boys" 

 with the best rubber boots that money can 

 buy, and, in both the Army and Navy, 

 there probably are as many U. S. "Pro- 



tected" rubber boots as all other brands 

 combined. 



U. S. "Protected" rubber boots will out- 

 wear any ordinary rubber boots. The 

 "boys" will tell you so when they come 

 back. Every pair is sturdily constructed, 

 reinforced where the wear is hardest, 

 staunch and serviceable, and yet full of com- 

 fort. Every pair of "U. S." means warm, 

 dry, comfortable feet for the wearer, what- 

 ever the work or weather. 



The "U. S. Seal" — trade mark of the 

 largest rubber manufacturer in the world — 

 is on every pair of U. S. rubber boots. 

 Look for it. It is your protection.
