“ NINETY-FIVE 
PER 
CENT. 
STERLING 
RUBBER. 9? 
BOOT. 
Designed to wear from September to 
The Candee Rubber Company inform the public that these Boots are 
made to supply the popular demand for an All-Rubber Bbot, and are as 
pure as cau be made. The upper and legs are of double thickness of 
Rubber, the fibre or grain of which is crossed at right angles, whereby 
separation of the fibres or “ cracking ” is made impossible. 
Ordinary Rubber Boots invariably wrinkle, leading to cracks, besides 
chafing the feet and ankles, and wearing out the stockings. All this is 
obviated by the Double Upper and Leg. The bottoms are of Solid Rub¬ 
ber, half-inch thick, and not filled with Rags, like common Rubber 
Boots. In the cut below, the black part marked “ Solid Rubber Fill¬ 
ing,” in ordinary Rubber Boots is made of ground up scraps of cloth, 
and is neither durable nor water-proof ; but in the “Ninety-five Per 
Cent. Sterling Boot,” when the tap sole and long sole are worn through, 
a third sole—all solid Rubber—presents itself, and gives 100 per cent, 
additional wear without increase of bulk or weight. These soles will 
outwear several pairs of common Rubber Boots. 
Warranted Tliree Months, 
And that there may be no question as to the time, the patent binding, as 
seen in cut, provides a space for every day, month aud year, so that in 
making a sale, the Rubber Co. punch out the date thereof, and the 
Boots will in themselves bear permanent record of that date. (See 
warrant in large circular, accompanying the Boots.) 
Esquimaux Lined—Iron Heel Plates—Outside Stand Straps. 
Retail price....$5.00 
“ Sterling.” Hip... 6.50 
Every Boot bears the warrant 
in Rubber letters on the leg. 
These Boots, although seeming¬ 
ly high priced, are more economi¬ 
cal than a Boot of less cost, and 
with proper care will 
render m.iod service 
from Fall until 
Spring. 
Tlie Poor Man’s 
Boot! 
In sending for these boots state the size of the shoe you wear. Orders can be sent direct to the 
Orange Judd Company, 245 Broadway, Yew York, who have consented to ex¬ 
ecute them on receipt of the price. Purchaser to pay the cost of express or carriage.
