D ESPECTFULLY Informs the friends of
: { useful Improvement, and the public in
general, chat he has invented, and now Of
rers ror sale, i~57- Bound B10te ard Shoes,
on plan entirely new. equally fit for men,
women and children. He has the pleasure
OF saving tn this invention is considered bv
some OF the BEST judges in this CITY, to be one
or the most economical ever offered to the
consideration of the public, for it not only
saves immense labor, but materials also
both OF which are well known tn be Of seri
Gus consequence in this country. In the OLD
WAY Of makin;. shoes, one pair is consider
ed a days work for a man but few men
make more than Or 5 pair ner week !:
whereas, III his NEW WAY, a man, with the
assistance OF g boy, can make from to 10
par per day; and If made Of che same de-
script'on OF materials, one pair Of the latter
1t wear IS long as two Of the former
therefore, If one man and boy can make
asmany rs SIX men could, and each pair Of
those VIII wes~ IS long IS two pair of the
others, this NEW PLAN evidently makes the
labor of MAI and bow equivalent to the
work of II men IN the OLD PLAN, and saves
half che usual consumption If leather; and
should this Improvement be extended over
the whole Of The United States, The saving
OF labor and Gather would be immense.
