any shape requisite. The capacity
is ten cases per.day. 1t saves US the
expense of buying dies, which cost 81
each. THESE smaller machines you
see here are the channel cutter, flap
opener, wire quilting mechiue and
counter divider. We will now have a
look at the lastsrs. Around this last
ing rink you see there are nine men at
work, who are able TO last all work that
is being made in the factory to-day
The insoleS. counter and tops are giveu
to these lasters Lasting the tops, pre-
paratory for the sole sewing, is one of
the most particular parts of shoem ak
ing. 1t is necessary for all these men to
be good, practical shoemakers. A good
laSter can earn as muCh as any one in
the shoe manufacturing business. AS
they complete their work it is passed
to this man to lay the soIes with this
lacking machine. This man can tack on
soleS for as many shoes as can be lasted
by those nine men around that rink.
From the sole-laying machine the work
goes on these noises and then to this
Mckay sewer, or this Standard screw
machine Some shoes are made by the
Standard screw machine and some By
the Mckay seWer-the Standard screws
are, preferable in this country, as they
wear longer. think. without a doubt,
that the Standard screw machine is the
finest of all shoe machinery made. This
thick, heavy wire on the top goes at
INN nse rapidity; it drives the wire
through any thickness of sole that
may be put On this iron, AID
cuts it off automatically, and feeds
for the next stitch-one man can
or do E1o tn oix
cases in ten hours. From the standard
screw machine we go to the leyeler.
Here the channels are put down, or the
wire smoothed off and leveled. With
Toned hammering, we are enabled to
procure a very heavy pressure. This

If you should buy pair of shoes and
wear them six months, and bring them
back ripped, if the number is not en-
tirely extinct, L can tell you in two
minutes who made them, what stock
they were out of, and what you
ought to have paid for them We
will now go to the cutting
room, where the ticket first goes.
The stock is selected by the foreman,
who charges it up to the different cut
tiers. who cut it up into whatever the
ticket calls for, and what is left hs
returns 1t is measured, and he receives
credit for the same, So that we can
readily tell what his part of the wo;k
costs-this work is done by the piece.
You notice all these drawers marked
nicely on the back here-here are 1872
sets of patterns, and the average to
each set is from fifty to eighty-two
pieces. l mention this so that you
may know the amount of detail work
there is in cutting out the tops, the
first part of the shoe. In the ordinary
button shoe there are some twelve or
eighte IN pieces to cut as exact as it is
possible to be done. There are nine
cutting boards-some cutters cut the
outsides, some fittings and some the
Innings. according to their ability. A
good cutter can average about seven to
len dozen per day of ord nary work
outsides. All these cutters here but
one, am happy to say, are our own
and are now working as
journeymen. frst-class workmen, cap
able of getting living in any town
where boots and shoes are manufac-
tGred. This part of the work is not
done by machinery.
Now we will proceed to the
FITTING AND STITCHING ROOM.

MRS. BURROWS.
A Lively Millinery Traie on Main
Street.

Mrs. Burrows, wIO carries on pros
porous millinery trade at the head of
Main Street, closes up 1888 and opens
out 1889 in manner very satisfactory
to herself During the past twelve
mon his there have been many changes
in this line of business. and many OF
her competitors have found it neces-
sary to close up and retire. She re-
mains now the sole representative in her
line in the busy upper part of town.

main shaft, and runs the machinery of
this room, without interfering with the
others. The work passes from the cut
tiers to The ink table, from the ink
table to the skiving machine-we use
two Amazon SkiVerS then to the
filters, who prepare it for The operators
on the sewing machines. he Innings
are made by Wilcox 81 Gibbs ma
chine, the topping is done by two
needle Union machine, which runs at
the rate of about 1920 stitches per
minute, the closing is done by Weed
Feed machine, and the other work Is
done by Wheeler d Wilson's machines,
which Iun at the rate of about l 100
stitches per minute. The button holes
are made by pair of Lufkin button
hole machines-the two machines are
run by one operator. They are auto
matic-while she feeds one machine the
other works its button-hole, and stops
automatically when the hole is worked.
Our heavy work is all passed to the
west side of the room, where we have
ten WaX-threod machines. which ara
used for saddle seam work, counter
sewing, and all kind of heavy work
relative to mems boots and shoes. The
crimping is done in this end of the
room, where it is kept clean and nice,
not in the ordinary dirty way that
crimping rooms are kept. When case
of tops is completed it is passed down
into the sole leather room, or, in other
words, bottoming room. The process
of preparing the tops ready for the sole
leather room is about eight days. The

Now we will proceed to

it our Jumbo, it weighs 3 600 pounds.

shipping. This is very important de-
partment-al the faults, and little fail
Ings that necessarily occur in manufac
tariug, are to be thoroughly examined,
and if the goods are not in
proper condition not to pass them
without reporting, which makes a
treer's life not very preferable
one. We get along very nicely here
everyone realizing how important it is
to have the work sound and neat before
leaving the house. You see all our oils
and dressings are kept neat and clean.
| believe strongly in neatness and clean
illness in factory. 1t has great eff
feet upon the work people, and, of
course, your work is always turned out
in accordance Herewith. You will
also notice that there is a place for
everything, and every thing is in its
place. We have waste boxss to keep
cotton waste in made of galvanized iron.
The rooms are swept thoroughly every
daye and busted. You see there are
no cupboards where dust and dirt
can congregate and be hid from the
eye We are working every machine
we have to-day to it's fullest capacity.
On account of our having to close for
six weeks to move in here all the work,
of course, fell very much behind; and
as every case is completed it is shipped
out we have been working on orders
for the last four months, and it is i'm
possible for US to catch up this season.
We shall soon be commencing to
make up for spring, when we hope to
be able to ill every order. We are
sending out by our representatives
about 100 different samples produced
in this factory, and there is no question
in my mind, in fact l know. that in
two or three years we can more than
double our capacity, aid find ready
sale for all or goods. We are able
to comp, tie in .taple goods where
solid leather j. used. We make
no attempt 10 produce shoddy shoes,
as we would rather take little more
time to work up our trade than to have
to rrn all over the country for new
trade. ALI our goods are warranted.
BY the way. l may mention that all
the sole leather used here is of our own
manufacture-we make 200 sides of
pure oak-tanned sole leather every
week, using between 400 and 500 cords
of bark per annum.

THE CLOTHING FACTORY.

This overall manufacturing was
originally started by young Spence
Clawson, who was then buyer for the
Coop, and now one of our enterpris
ing merchants. We make about thirty
dozen overalls per day, consuming
about 900 wards of denims, or p, 500 per
month. We are in the same fix here as
in the shoe factory-all behind. We
make the celebrated "Mountaineer
brand of overalls We have also made
here about 700 dozen underwear. from
the flannel manufactured by the
Provo Manufacturing Company. This
underwear is mostly shipped out of the
country. This cutting board is 166 feet
long. We take p bolts of demins, lay
them along this table. and cut through
them with this steam knife. The ma
chimes are Singers, Standards and
Wheeler & Wilsons-mostly Singers
and they run at the rate of from 100 to
|, 800 stitches per minute. The buttons
are put on by this Magnet machine.
That boy can put buttons on
thirty dozen overalls day, ten
buttons to pair, which makes
5000 buttons per day. This room
is systematized the same as the shoe fac
tory. 1t is done on the team system.
For instance: One girl makes the tick
cts, another sews the legs up, another
puts the waist bands on, and so on, I'M
til they go through thirteen hands. 1t
has been very hard work to compete In
this branch of business, but so far we
have been successful. There is no

capacity in this room next year. We
