EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling activity of a crowded train station in circa 1919, this illustration showcases the versatility and durability of Dri-Ped's high-quality leather, a trusted brand of William Walker & Sons Ltd. The scene depicts a determined woman, clad in a Dri-Ped coat, navigating through the throngs of passengers. A young boy, selling newspapers and magazines, including a volume of the "Rose Hill" with the date "February 10, 1919," adds a sense of authenticity to the moment. Dri-Ped's leather, sourced from the renowned tannery in Bolton, Lancashire, was not only a staple for military uniforms during wartime but also a preferred choice for civilians during peacetime. The illustration encapsulates the essence of resilience and adaptability, as the woman's Dri-Ped coat shields her from the chill of the station, while the boy's newspapers provide a glimpse into the current events of the day. This drawing, drawn by an unknown artist, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Dri-Ped's leather, which has stood the test of time and continues to be cherished for its unwavering quality. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of craftsmanship that William Walker & Sons Ltd. has embodied for generations.
