American Shoes in GERMANY

Twenty years ago American shoes were
unknown in Germany. Indeed, at that time
our shoes were not regarded as superior to
those of German manufacture, but the many
improvements which has been made in ma
chinery, together with the careful study
which our manufacturers have made Of
style and comfort, have placed our shoes in
the front rank. An American can almost
always be distinguished in crowd by his
shoes. In 1880 the value of shoes imported
into Germany from the United States
amounted to $l666, in 1890 to $9O44, in 1895
it was $39508, and for the first five months
of this year the total value of the shoes
imported from the United States was $780,
500.
