Questions 160-162 refer to the following advertisement. Devlin Bootmaker is a company which manufactures and retails a very exclusive luxury brand of boots solely for men. Devlin Bootmaker was founded fifty-five years ago by Mr. Keith Devlin, a Arizona rancher who found himself wearing out two pairs of boots every year and vowed to make the world better boots. Today his granddaughter still runs the company and actively participates in the design of new boots. Our factory in Phoenix is state-of-the-art and we are able to handle any sized order. Devlin boots are hand-stitched from the finest leathers. They are well worth the extra cost if you are likely to be using your boots in particularly wet conditions. In addition, the boots are designed for style with contemporary design details added to the classic upper look and a unique outsole design for each style. We offer a total satisfaction guarantee on all our products. If you are dissatisfied for any reason, simply send them with your receipt directly to the Returns Department at our order processing facilities in Phoenix, Arizona and you will receive a full refund of the purchase price.
