If The War Had Continued! 
If the war had continued, the pair of U. S. “Protected” rubber boots that you 
will now be able to buy at your dealer’s this winter would have gone to France 
for one of the boys “over there.” 
But, as the trenches are empty, there is no need for trench boots; so our 
Government is now allowing us to provide heavy-service, double-duty U. S. 
“Protected” rubber footwear for the outdoor worker at home. 
Uncle Sam has furnished our boys” with the best rubber boots that money 
can buy, and, in both the Army and Navy, there probably are as many U. S. 
“Protected” rubber boots as all other brands combined. 
rubber boots will outwear any ordinary rubber boots. The 
boys will tell you so when they come back. Every pair is sturdily constructed, 
reinforced where the wear is hardest, staunch and serviceable, and yet full of 
comfort. Every pair of “U. S.” means warm, dry, comfortable feet for the wearer, 
whatever the work or weather. 
Phe U. S. Seal trade mark of the largest rubber manufacturer in the world 
is on every pair of U. S. rubber boots. Look for it. It is your protection.
