If You weighed 198
lbs. and wore boots
eight hours every day
—and couldn't possibly buy foot
wear that would last a month,—
and then you tried "Hipress"
wearing them eight hours a day,

Sundays, and even then couldn't
make them leak—
We guess there wouldn't be any
question in future as to what boots
you'd buy.
The wearer described above is
Hans Jensen, pumpman, Lead

daily just how far ahead of ordinary
