Perhaps its a little early for Fishing Boots yet, but you'll want a pair after a while, and you'll want them good.

We are paying special attention to these goods this year. Our past ex- perience tells us that Fishing Beots an't be too good, that’s why we are using all Island grain leather, tanned with the long tanning process, oil finished uppers, and the best of sole leather for solev, insoles and counters ; our best workmen are employed en these goods, making them all by hand.

it will be to your advantage to see these before buying.
