Let's be honest if for no higher reason than that it PAYS. 

 Bootmakers speak of waterproof boots. No boot is waterproof ex- 

 cept a rubber boot. A rubber boot is hard to walk in and causes the 

 feet to perspire without relief. A hole is soon made in a rubber boot 

 and then it is but a "makei-liift." All that any bootmaker can do to 

 make the leather turn the water is to treat it with good, old fashioned 

 od. Be assured, however, that if the leather is saturated to the extent 

 that it keeps the water OUT it will also keep the perspiration IN. 

 No boot will continue to turn the water unless it is oiled after each 

 day's wear. > 



WRIGHT HAND-MADE BOOTS FIT THE FEET, where "readymades" 

 pinch and hurt. WRIGHT BOOTS are Hand Sewed and have best quality 

 Water-proofed, Oak- tanned leather soles. We "waterproof" our boots or not, 

 as preferred. They are entirely hand-made and show the hide grain, have 

 Heavy Tongues, DOUBLE STITCHED BOTH SIDES. They are fitted for 

 lacing with Hooks or Large Eyelets, as desired. OUR BOOTS WEAR FOR 

 YEARS.

The 25-20 is a fine gun and, with a spe- 

 cial bullet, is powerful enough for elk and 

 black bear. To make the special bullet, put 

 a bit of paper 3-16 inch wide in the mould 

 in such a way as to split the head of the 

 bullet to within 1-10 inch of the point. The 

 solid point will insure accurate flight, and 

 the ball will split on striking game, with 

 all the tearing effect of the large calibers. 

 I have torn the shoulders of large black 

 bear to pieces with that bullet. For game 

 under grizzly I ask no better gun than the 

 25.. Ducks are fairly plenty here and I kill 

 my share with a 16 gauge. Small bore 

 weapons, both rifles and shot guns, are ex- 

 ceedingly popular in this part of the coun- 

 try. J. D. V., Westport, Wash.

 fire sale?" 



"Oh, Edgar, I got some lovely silk stock- 

 ings at 17 cents a pair ! There is not a 

 thing the matter with them except the feet 

 are burned off." — Detroit Free Press. 



I received the Guthrie hunting boots and 

 they are away beyond my expectation. They 

 are soft as a glove and the best I have 

 ever seen.
