Visit first the Shoe and Leather
building. There is good deal of same
ness here, but the. display gives, by its
extent, o, strong impression OF the I'M
portance of this industry. The shoe
making machinery is very interesting.

Eavenuesg rum the whole length; of this
huge structure, and by traversing each
slowly and diverging from the one on
the south side into the hydraulic annex,
a good general idea will be gained Of

ton the world has ever had an opportu-
nifty of seeing. The following manufac-
turing processes carried on every day
will be found worth stopping few min
utes to inspect: Weaving silks, woolens,
carpets, stockings, book marks, etc.,
printing, ithographing, paper making,
scroll saving, barrel making, glass en-
craving, chocolate and candy making,
