UNLIKE ORDINARY PUTTEES. OUR NEW 
ALL-LEATHER PUTTEES 
NEVER TEAR OR FRAY OUT 
These most comfortable, good- 
looking puttees are made en- 
tirely of fine supple tan leather, 
and fasten simply with one 
buckle at bottom. They are 
extremely durable, even if sub- 
jected to the friction of riding, as 
the edges never tear or fray out. 
The puttees are quickly put on or taken 
off, readily mould to the sh^pe of the leg, 
are as easily cleaned as a leather belt, and 
saddle soap soon makes them practically 
waterproof. 
The price per pair is 18/6, post free 
inland, or postage abroad 1/- extra, or 
sent on approval on receipt of business 
(not banker's) reference and home 
address. Please give size of calf. 
NOTEDLY SUCCESSFUL 
BREECHES-MA KING, 
We have long been notedly successful in breeches- making, 
and we maintain this good repute by guaranteeing all the 
essential factors — fine wear-resisting cloths, skilful cutting, 
careful, honest, tailor-work ; and our experience, ninety-six 
years, is certainly adequate beyond question. 
We keep on hand a number of pairs of officers' riding breeches, and are 
therefore often able to meet immediate requirements, or we can cut and 
try a pair on the same day and complete the next day, if urgently wanted.

Waterproof Boots, 
" Your ^Newmarket' Boots are just splendid 
I wore Ikem in the trenches in water for two days and nights, and on a long 
march from 9 p.m. to 3.30 a.m., andmy feet were perfectly dry and warm. 
For marc'tingthey are most comfortable." {Extract from an Officer's letter.) 
Our " Newniarkct " boots are "just splen- 
did," because the material is so good and 
the workmanship unusually skilful and 
thorough. 
The leRs are made of a tough-wearing tan 
twill, interlined with a stout layer of pure 
rubber, and it is to be noted that the " life" 
of such boots depends principally on the 
quality and substance of this hilden inter- 
hning. Special tan leather covers the foot- 
part, and only seasoned first-grade sole 
leather is used. 
The fitness of these boots for military wear 
has been fully proved by a large number of 
officers, many of whom formerly used them 
for fishing and shooting. 
The demand at one time was greater than we 
could meet, but we now have all sizes in 
stock, or wo can make specially in excep- 
tional cases. ' 
To order, please state size of boot 
worn, or give pencilled outline of 
foot in sock, or better, send an old 
boot, and If first transaction, add 
remittance (95/- is the price) which 
will be returned at ones if the boots 
are not approved, or give business 
reference and home addresa.

"Some time ago wc sold a Double Shield to an officer procreding to France. This 
day he cnlled tn our shop and thanked us for selling him the shield,' which he stated had 
s-iveit his life. He was badly wounded in both arms, and a large piece of shrapnel 
struck him in the abdomen, and undoubtedly had he not been wearinR the shield, he 
would have been killed. As it was, the shield absolutely stopped the piece which struck 
him. He has written in our album the following:^'! hereby testify that the Chemico 
liody Shield bought from J-_H. (irimwade & Son, of Felixstowe, saved my life while in 
France' You may use this, but please withhold his name, which can always be ob- 
tained from us if desired." 
Copy of letter received by our acenU, Mewr*. May Brot., Ltd., 374 Oxford Street, 
London, W.. on 2Ut NoTember, 1917 :— 
" Somr- other woman may likf to know that the Chcmico Shield you recently sent 
to my friend in France has certainly saved his life. He writes from hospital :— 
' I am O.K. in body but not in limbs, as I picked up three pieces of choice German 
metal in my left leg above the knee and below the hip, also one below my ri^ht elbow. 
One also got stuck into my right jaw bone but did not break it, but still it is out of 
order and ni eds a little repairing. If I had not had that shield on 1 don't know where 
I would have been now, as there were four holes in the outside of it.* 
In a Iftter just received, he mentions one of the hits by shrapnel ' which would 
have securt-tl the count anyway.' "
