Ter class of work will be commenced as
soon as it is practicable to increase the ca

line of foot wear will be turned out of this
factory that will rival any in America

consumer can buy for the same money
The -McClung Boot and Shoe com
pany has shown its confidence in the
growth of this city by putting in an ex-
pensive plant which is daily paying back
instruments on the investment. and the
public have shown their confidence in the
success Of the factory by a liberal patron
age, and the company has letters showing
that its customers feel that they are par
ticipating in the general profits by getting
a cheaper and better shoe. Amongst the
thousands of letters received by the COM
pany during the last year the first com

this western point of distribution
This plant was originally started under
different name, being known as the
| Wichita Boot and Shoe factory, and was
located on the West Side The company
was organized with small capital and
put on its feet hastily in order to meet the
existing demands at once. Before fairly

Of the plant and a change of location was
imperative. The situation was immedi-
ately grasped by capitalists and the work
Of reorganization was speedily accom-
plished
At this juncture Mr. Peter GettO became
associated with the enterprise, having a
desirable location to offer which was really
the key to the situation. The factory was
scarcely opened when it became necessary
to have the general offices down town for
the greater convenience of the public and
for lack of room at the factory which is
scarcely large enough to carry on the bust
ness with ease when portion was set
aside for offices. Fifty feet of the Smith
Skinner block, on Market street. was de
voted to the purpose of offices and show
rooms. The accompanying cut gives an

thread run through it. The arm which
holds the shoe in position while it i being
sewed is hollow, and this space is heated
by an alcohol lamp thus Keeping the wax

objects for this are several: the thread Is
thoroughly covered with hot wax. which

Its capacity Is between three hundred and

patentee who bought out his partners in
the patent, collected royalty up to four
years ago of two cents for ladies shoes. one
cent for misses. a half cent for child
ren's and ten cents for mems SHOES
per pair. At that time great
many of the leases run out and
since the machines have been sold outright
to the factories. Originally this machine
could only sew to a certain point. but diff
ferent Improvements were made and the
patent extended until it sews completely
round the shoe if necessary Amongst
other improvements the waxed thread is
spoiled under patent cover which keeps
it free from dust and prevents the thread
from drying out and becoming hard and
stiff.
The machine is so constructed that gas
may be used TO heat the wax instead OF the
