THE IKRIGATION AGE. 



3,300 MILES OF DRY FEET! 



Sixteen million rubber boots, arctics, overs and other 

 articles of the famous "Ball-Band" Footwear, protect six- 

 teen million feet in cold, muddy, snowy or slushy weather. 



These sixteen million articles of "Ball-Band" Foot- 

 wear, placed heel to toe, would make a continuous line 

 of more than 3,300 miles a dry walk from New York to 

 San Francisco, with an additional line of a hundred miles 

 or so along the coast. 



Many of our readers are among the eight million 

 wearers of "Ball-Band Rubber and Woolen Footwear. 

 They are familiar with its popularity, but few realize what 

 an enormous volume of manufacture is necessary to meet 

 the demand. Figures recently obtained from the factory 

 are most interesting. 



1,252 carloads of raw material, supplies, etc., are re- 

 quired to make one year's output of "Ball-Band" Foot- 

 wear. This material if put into one continuous train, form- 

 ing a hollow square, would enclose more than 3,600 acres 

 with a solid wall of fully-loaded freight cars. 



5,000,000 square yards of sheetings, cotton duck, cash- 

 merette, wool linings, etc., were used in these goods 

 enough cloth to cover 1,033 acres completely. 



In 1910 "Ball-Band" dealers received 1,030 carloads 

 of finished footwear, aggregating over $10,500,000. These 

 shipments would make another train, solidly enclosing 

 2,500 acres. 



That quality wins has been proved by the manufactur- 

 ers of "Ball-Band," as these stupendous figures show. The 

 company's policy is summed up in the declaration that 

 "This company has not, nor will it ever cheapen the qual- 

 ity of its goods to meet competition." 



The Red Ball trademark has come to be the recog- 

 nized symbol of quality in rubber boots, and other heavy 

 rubber and woolen footwear. Forty-five thousand dealers 

 in all parts of the country sell "Ball-Band" goods. If 

 any reader fails, to find them he is invited to write the 

 Mishawaka Woolen Mfg. Co.. at Mishawaka, Indiana, 

 mentioning his dealer's name and the company will see 

 that he is supplied.
