HOW CASf A BOOT BE WATERPKOOr 

 AND NOT SWEAT THE FEET? Common 

 waterproof boots keep the perspiration in as well 

 as the water out, and perspiration that finds its 

 waj' through leather is kept in the rubber boot. 

 This renders the sock wet, and, when the wearer 

 ceases walking, causes the cold clammy feehng 

 which is so objectionable and unhealthy. 



THE HANNAFORO VENTILATED 



RUBBER BOOT, 



while it is waterproof and as warm as any boot 

 made, provides away for the perspiration to escape; 

 at each step the foul air is forced out of the boot, 

 and when the weight of the body is removed from 

 the compressible top sole, fresh air is admitted to 

 the foot; thus the sock is kept free from the mois- 

 ture which causes the feet to become cold, sore, and 

 tender. Send for ciecular.

Pictures of the Field. 



Fb-ototypes of the Fiot-ares by Jolin M. Tracv. 



Mb. John M. Tract has won a reputation for his faithful portraits of dogs and his beau- 

 tiful and sympathetic delineations of the incidents of the field. All the poetry and grace of 

 a pointer or setter in the stubble have been caught with the eye of the artist and the enthu- 

 siasm of the sportsman, and transferred to the living canvas with a skill which has given 

 Mr Tracy a name above that of aay other American artist in the same field. 



'We have for sale a series of admirable phototypes (photographs in printers mk), 

 of these paintings, which preserve with admirable fidelity the spirit of the originals. 

 The phototypes are 15x20 inches. They are as follows:
