facturer, who has received a consign-
ment OF American shoes. found that
they were delivered free at his ware
house door al dover cost than that at
which he could produce them at his own
factory. He could sell ten times as
many OF that class of goods as OF any
other, and customers would not know
them from goods Of English make. IL is
further stated that three-fourths of the
leather used In the Leicester shoe trade
was of American tanning.
