| TEXT | This house was established originally by Mr. George Michiels several years ago. In 1882 the present proprietor succeeded to the business, and since that period has always enjoyed a liberal and influential patronage, derived from the best classes of society. Mr. McKay in the manufacture of his boots and shoes combines elegance, comfort, and durability. Only first-class workmen are employed, and the best French leather, and all work is hand-sewed, and having so many different widths and sizes, conforming to the natural shape of the foot, the proprietor finds no difficulty in fitting customers at once, unless the foot is very much deformed, when he prefers to make after very careful measurements. Particularly do sore feet, which are often caused by badly made shoes, hasten the coming on of old age and decrepitude for reasons which can readily be understood. It is almost impossible to describe the ills and misery that arise to persons of weak constitutions from wearing tight and ill fitting boots and shoes, and a first-class bootmaker, like Mr. McKay, is invaluable to persons suffering from diseased or deformed feet. Mr. McKay makes a specialty of dress and patent leather gaiters, and his boots and shoes are positively unsurpassed for durability, comfort and style. He is well known in mercantile life for his thorough business qualities, while to his host of private friends his geniality of temperament, strict honor and good fellowship are proverbial, and he justly merits the success attained by his ability, energy and perseverance. |
