Doors AND Slices The trade Of u shoe
maker used to be one which it took years to
learn, and all the processes were done by hand,
and boot or a shoe, although it might be
clumsy and awkward in shape, when once 1t
was built, lasted the wcarcr as many months as
the modern article does weeks. Now they are
mostly made By machinery and there is hardly
such trade as that Of shoemaker. There are
manufacturers, and cutters. and men that put
on soIes and heels, and women who bind and
line shoes, but the old fashioned shocnak cr Is
as much out of date as the old fashioned sub
stantial article which was the product OF his
skill and industry. The same is true Of every
branch of manufacture: durability has gwen
place to cheapness and elegance of form and
material, and articles are furnished which are
beautiful to the eye but fragile in use. Is this
IA change to be lamentcd we sigh for the good
old times when pair of shoes did not vanish
like the morning cloud and the ear y dew, but
should we be willing to pay the price that the
more substantial article would cost in these
days. The question answers itself If we were
willing to pay for them, the old fashioned article
