Boots and shoes.

This industry has grown prodigiously in
st. Paul during the past decade, and gives
pro mise of astonishing results in the near
future. 1t is a curious and gratifying fact
which may not have attracted general notice
that much OF the finest stock on sale iu
the retail shoe houses of ST. Paul, Mime
apolis and other leading cities Of the north
west Is of St. Paul manufacture; and that
in many styles of goods, the ST. Paul maru-
faeturer readily receives higher prices for his
product than can be obtained by the most
notable establishments at the cast
a casual inquiry renders this
easy to understand. There is but single
difference between boot or sho. proluaed
in st. Paul and one of eastern manufacture,
and that is in the quality of the stock used
fhe St. Paul manufacturers have enjnyed
such phenomenal prosperity as to warrant
them in purchasing all the hest improved
machinery aud systems of cutting ana fiji
ting. The question OF skilled labor is thus
solved at once. because experiments have
demons trated that new maud may be trans
formed into an expert by being furnished
with the perfect i'm plements which invention
has OF late supplied. Skilled labor is. therefore
lower priced here than at the east, aud the
ST. Paul manufacturer has the luther con-
siderable advantage of being able a. purchase
his leather from the neigbboring tauneres
Of Wisconsin, thereby saving The imp ortant
item Of extra freight which the eastern man
ufacturrr must pay. The ST. Paul manu.ac-
turer takes pride in using good, sound stork
in all bis products. whereas his competitor at
the east, I'm certain classes of goods is forced
to use shoddy, or quit the field. A visit To
the ST. Paul shoe factrries-where tl<
public are always made welcome
would open the eyes Of citizens WHO
have harbored the impression thai the better
grades of shoes must necessarily come from
the east. In one factory alone the writer was
shown 1875 different kinds Of ladies', misses
aud children's shoes, including the finest
and most elegant styles of satin topped aud
hand stitched French kids. Al the begin
ming Of the year 1884 there were ti=e large
factories. One Of them was destroyed by fire
in September, but il is 10 be rebuilt on a
larger scale in 1885. The other factories are,
without exception. preparing 10 increase
their capacity, all having had more
orders than they could Gil, aud
one of them will double its dimensions,
SO as to give employment 10 275 or 300 hands.
This will then be the most extensive bout
and shoe mandatory at the wrst-barring
the state penitentiary Of Illinois. 10 the
ensuing year all grades of ladies and gents
foot wear will be turned out in St. Paul, and
In short time the trade will be entirely sup
piled by home production. During the year
1884, the number of persons employed
by the boot and shoe industry
has nearly doubled that of 1888,
and the amount of sales, with one Of the
factories stopped by fre), has increased over
quarter Of million dollars. Initial steps
have been taken for three new factories 70

Flour

Although this city has never made any
prrienee TO greatness In respect of its -four
product, there are few facts relating TO the
subject that are worth noting. In 1880 the
principal Touring mill here made so, 900 bar
rels, and mas since Increased its capacity
until 1854 when II turned out 200, 600 barrels
Of grade II -four that commands 25 cents
per barrel more on the ChicagO market than
-four Of Minneapolis Manufacture. The pro-
prietors Of this mill have, at great expense.
brought the finest machinery all
the vay from Hungary, aud they
claim 10 BE- the only frm In this region max
ing -four exclusively By the roller process.
Rollers have been introduced into the Min
neapolis mills, but the stones have not yet
been discarded. A curious fact in connec-
tiOn with milling is that the chief mills Of
Minneapolis are introducing steam as a mo-
tive power, because water wheel while
good enough in its way) invariably stops
when Il Is most needed. The conclusion Is
that, If -four aud water are separlble, St. Paul
(Which now produces the finest quality OF e0ur)
may be- expected IN make 4 respectable show
ing in point of quantity before long.
Al present this city has five Touring mills,
which give employment u 90 meu, and
which sltogether produced 81, loo. 900 worth
Of -four in 1884. The past two seasons have
been bad opes for millers generally, and In
many sections money has been lost at the
business, vet the millers of St Paul have
prospered. This Is mentioned in support Of
the sssum ption that St. Paul Is, in innum-
cradle WAYS, qualified to become a great
manufacturing centre.
