The fact that women who can do one
thing well ind self support possible, is
well illustrated by the success Of sandal
company in Grand Rapids, Mich. This
establishment is owned and controlled en-
tiroly by Iwomen. 1t started operations
some two years ago with a capital of less
than 81, 600 Today it imports its chamois
skin direct from Italy; and the silk used
in making them into sandals for children's
wear is purchased directly from the man
ufacturers. The institution gives en-
ployment TO hundreds of needy women al
remunerative prices, and refuses to allow
machinery of any kind to be used. The
report for the year ending Jan. !, 1888,
shows net profit on invested capital of
over GOO per cent. Work begins at .
