The following is an extract from a letter, among many, 
which tells what people think of them: 
“Deer Lodge, Tahawus, Essex County, N. Y. 
“Gentlemen: * * * The above style of footwear I 
introduced here in my Sporting Club, ‘The Tahawus 
Club,’ and it has become very popular. * * * I have 
worn mine constantly for the past two months and am 
pleased to say I never owned so perfect a boot for this 
rough and woody country. For use in the light skiffs 
of this section they are unequaled. Yours truly, 
E. Holloway Coe.
