Barney Sullivan and his right hand
man, Mr.. Scott, have worked out a
scheme that will be Of great value to
the hunters. All hunters are aware
of the fact that when they go in the
slough after duck they get stuck in
the mud and the result in most cases
is the boots stick in, the mud while the
foot comes out. This is due to the
fact that the strap around the ankle
of the boot is made Of fabric that will
not stretch and therefore cannot be
pulled up tight. Our. two well known
tire men have taken upon themselves
to start manufacturing rubber straps
to take the place Of these fabric
straps. The rubber ones can be tight
ened without making the ankle uncor1-
Portable. They have started the man
and any good hunter who wishes a
pair Of the straps can obtain them by
calling at the Sullivan Tire Hospital.
