ALTOS,

SPRING.

\ 7 E must thank our friends and the public generally for their ever increasing patronage since we have commenced business.

Our Boot & Shoe Factory, in starting, had mony diffi ulties to overcome, and we are glad that to-day those difficulties have been sumno tuved, and we are now well able to com- pete with the best Boot and Shoe Factories abroad.

Some of the advantages purchasers have ia buying from us are, Saving of freight,ordering goods when you want them (not six months before), getting them without deiay—which saves carrying a large stock which deteriorates on the shelves.

Our leathers are bought directly from the tanneries, thereby saving commissions which many factories have to pay.

We are more determined than ever to give the

BesT OF SATISFACTION . bet eae and to ftmerit‘the whoie of the Island’s patronage.

We hope to see mahy new indastries arise, thereby increasing the prosperity of the ‘Gem of the Sea.”
