    Given away by The Popular Boot and Shoe Store, this postcard now gives up a number of secrets from Waterloo at the start of the 20th century. The store was part of an 1888 two-storey block that still stands. A clothing shop, delirium, occupies the site in 2015. - Photo courtesy Rych Mills

  • Notes 
    • J. S. Roos.

      At the front in the boot and shoe trade of the town is the large, flourishing and extensively stocked establishment of Mr. J. S. Roos. This store is a credit to its proprietor as well as to the town. For years back an extensive business has been done here and the establishment has maintained a high standard of excellence, affording to the public every possible advantage. Mr. Roos thoroughly understands the shoe business and buys for cash from the leading factories of the country. He handles everything in this line from the ladies' finest kid to the men's and boys' heavier wear. To be convinced of the bargains offered here it is only necessary to call and examine the stock
      and prices
