Some eight years ago the above gentlemen commenced the business of heel manufacturers and leather dealers, and they have made rapid progress. The premises have been enlarged three times to cope with the increasing trade, which comes in large quantities to the firm. Both the partners are thoroughly practical and understand the business of heel making.
