Champion Shoe. 
A 
m 
(Patented May 29tli, 1866.) 
Tile “CHAMPIONS” are made in the most 
DURABLE MANNER and of the very BEST 
MATERIAL, and every pair 
WARRANTED. 
The Croton is a White Grape, and is acknowledged by all 
who have tasted it to surpass in quality and beauty any 
white grape yet introduced, that will succeed in the open 
air, and is, iu delicacy of flesh and flavor, fully equal to the 
Finest Foreign Varieties. 
It has held its foliage well in all parts of the country, and 
iu many places better than any other variety. Will undoubt¬ 
edly prove to be a most valuable market grape. 
THE SENApUA 
Is a black grape; the vino a healthy, vigorous grower, with 
every appearance of a pure native, hut its fruit more closely 
resembles the fleshy foreign grapes than any variety that 
has as yet been introduced. It is considered by some of our 
best pomologists as the finest hardy grape they have tasted. 
For fine cut of Croton Grape, and further description, his¬ 
tory of origin, reports of success in various localities, list of 
premiums awarded, etc., etc., send for circular. 
■See whnt Mr. WHITE ( Fanner) says: 
Sherborn, Mass., May 2!), 1870. 
The shoes came duly to hand ; all farmers kuow how disa¬ 
greeable it is to wear boots in warm weather. I have tried 
for five years to find a shoe that would keep out the dirt 
when at work in plowed land, but had thrown away tlie last 
pair in disgust. When I saw your advertisement in the 
American Agriculturist. I thought I would venture a pair of 
Champions. I have worn them in plowing and planting, and 
find them just the thing. My feet will lie as clean at night as 
if my boots were worn, and as free from dirt and grit. Sore 
feet, so common among farmers, is caused by wearing shoes 
in summer that will not keep out the dirt. The Champion 
■obviates this fault and will prove a blessing to farmers and 
others who till the soil. As soon as your shoes become 
known to the farmers you will have large sales. I find the 
shoe just as you represented it.
