CITY NOTICES.


ing of shoes and leather suggests TO us
that the time must shortly come for
the use of other materials in this manufac-
ture. What these will be, does not appear,
but necessity is said 10 be the mother of in
vention, and from the consumption so much
exceeding the supply, that nececessily will
soon be upon us Hides are not so much
more costly than formerly, because ireights
are higher or the importers larger, or be-
cause there is any conspiracy to deiraud
purchasers or make them go barefooled; but
the plains of Brazil and Buenos Ayres, and
the shores OF Africa cannot furnish them for
Massachusetts tanners and shoemakers to
waste. They are as high abroad as at home,
and the prices will never go down TO the old
hgures. Only look at the lmporiations OF
hides and leather into Massachusetts.
If the whole amount was as thoroughly
and properly tanned, as ii is in Europe, and
the shoes were as well made as they are in
| Germany OF France, the Massachusetts man.
| ufacturers alone would shoe the whole hu.
man race; but il is considered great object
to get cheap shoes, and we do get them"
Only think of a side of leather split so as
TO make 8 and sometimes sides out OF one.
Is il any wonder the leather is liable TO
breakp The cheap Yankee split-leather
shoes made 10 our day are mostly made of
splii-lealher and paper, and as soon as the
wet strikes them they go TO pieces directly.
Those who are in the habit of buying this
low priced Yankee trash of shOes-who have
q half dozen children-have TO keep one of
lhem all the lime running to the shoe store
for repairs, in order to keep their feet from
the ground, Owing to the trouble have
found in so many instances of the bought
shoes in tipping and so often turning out
worthless, | have been compelled 10 manu-.
facture the most OF my work | sell all kinds.
