PROUDLY ANNOUNCE
THE ULTIMATE IN LEATHER

“IRONHIDE™

IN THE DISTINCTIVE NEW COLOUR

Bunyan Brown :

WHAT IS If —

A new oil-tanned leather, with exceptional WATERPROOF-

ING and WEARING QUALITIES

(hence the name),

developed by PIERRE PARIS & SONS exclusively for the
high requirements of B.C. LOGGING CAMPS and MILLS.

‘AND

THE STORY BEHIND IT —

“Without peer and without blemish”

We've been tanning our own leather since 1927, but it was only in the past couple of years that BARRY RICKARD, our
new superintendent from South Africa, injected some of the ideas he brought with him from his homeland. BARRY has had
yast experience tanning African hides (anything from a stump-tailed skink to an elephant, he says). We thought he was
a bit of a line-shooter at first, but he made us buy new machinery and give him leeway to show what he could do.
And then he came up with “IRONHIDE”. When you buy your first pair of PARIS BOOTS with this spectacular new
leather, you will come to share our enthusiasm. It’s tough, and it’s beautiful—and it’s developed specifically for the job.
Nothing like it-under any other brand name. Prove it for yourself.

From Now On, All PARIS Logging and Mill Boots Will Be Made
Look For The New Label and The Striking
