Built for the hardest wear
Made by the oldest and largest rubber
manufacturer in the world, the U. S.
Walrus is built for the toughest wear. Its
sole consists of heavy layers of the finest
rubber All other points of strain are,
specially reinforced.
Ask your dealer TO show you the new
u. S. Walrus. Look over the rest of this
u. S. line-boots, bootees, arctics->
whatever you need. Every one is backed
by over half century of experience.
The rubber comes from our own planta-
tions-the whole process of manufacture.
is supervised by experts.
Always look for the U. S. Seal-it
means solid wear and long service for
your money.
