* You Must Have
Goodrich Boots
WHEN you journey far over
rugged trails, away from all
sources of supply, and into the
freezing lonesomeness of claim,
mine or camp, there is one thing
you must have—
Boots of proved dependability
boots that will endure no matter
what the test; rubber tough
enough to withstand the attacks
of jagged formations of ice and -
rock—thick enough to exclude the
dampness and cold—yet pliable
enough to give lasting comfort.
In Goodrich “Hi-Press” you have
this serviceable combination* You
will get the toughest rubber ever
moulded into a boot, a rubber
with the life of steel.
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Footwear
will far outwear the ordinary
kind. j
