AS they are all live, wide awake bust

inducementw which may add to the already
increasing number of Brewers thriving
manufactures, they never neglect an OPP

Through their efforts, one factory will
shortly locate in the city and negotia-

niiteen years ago the best shoes were
hand sewed shoes and sold at from Sc to
Slo per pair. Today the best shoes, bet
lef Than hand sewed were then or now,
aIe sold at 50 to Sc per pair, This means
thau within fifteen years the price of
snoeS mas been cut into. BY what means?
In some measure this marked reduc
llon is due to lower price for the ma
teflals. But in much larger measure it
Is due to the development of the Good
year Welt system of machinery which
produces shoe superior to the hand
sewed article in like materials, and at
very much lower cost for labor.
AS an example, take one machine of
the Goodyear Welt system, the stitcher
The expert hand workmen doing the best
ten hour days work that he can on the
average does well when he stitches the
soles on fifteen pairs OF shoes, but the
Goodyear rapid stitcher will easily do 800
and has done 400 pairs in the same time.
The work OF preparing the sole for the
one operation is about equal to that of
preparing it for the other
The saving made by the welt sewer is
even greater than this. The lasting ma
chine is a good third in the saving it
makes, and each machine of the ex-
tended system saves more or less labor,
until the labor cost of producing the shoe
is reduced to about one-third.
1t is not in the reduction of the price
only, that great changes have been
wrought, but by the Goodyear Welt sys-
TEN. The shoes it produces are better
than any average run of factory made
hand sewed shoes, are in fact, equal to
the best custom made hand sewed shoes
