SHOE HEELS AND How They ARE MADE
The Shee and Leather Record, in an article on
this subject, gives the following facts:

Ine ou0e anu Leather RECORD, In an article on
this subject, gives the following facts:
A notable feature of the improved and pro-
gressive character OF the bot and shoe manu-
facture of the United States is the attention
given to what until recently has been consid-
cred the most unimportant details. In the
manufacture of heels, for instance, very costly
machines have been invented and is now used
in most OF the largest shoe factories in the
cou untry. so that this one particular part of
boot or shoe may be said to have branched off
into separate and almost distinct lire of bus
mess The Mckay Heeling Machine Associa-
ton OF Boston, and the Bigelow Heeling Ma
cnlne ASSOCIATION OF Worcester, and the pre-
pared heels OF SimOnds in Woburn, have 81
most superseded the use of the handmade ar
ticle in leather throughout the Eastern States,
the old-iashioned method OF pegging each lift
and mailing several layers at time having
gone out of use in most factories. The patent
pressed metallic heel manufactured in Boston
by Joint stock company, has given great sat
isiaction to the shoe trade at large for women's
wear, its chief recommendation being that ID
improves the shoe, is economical and partcu-
larly durable. To put wooden heel on q la
dies fine tie or walking shoe is to destroy the
trade of any retail dealer who persists in Il, az
these flimsy wooden heels, covered WITH kid
and held on only by one screw, are the most
costly and the least durable of all the many
kind OF patent heels that have recently been
put upon the market. The Woburn prepared
heel of leather scraps, nodded and finished,
will inevitably come largely into use for light
work produced in sale and custom shops.
