A UNIQUE SHOE INDUSTRY.

The Ghetto. the home OF a mixed mass OF
humanity. presents a remarkable and
unique phase Of New York shoe selling.
Petty shocInakers visit the numerous city
shoe factories daily and buy up scraps and
seconds CT all kinds OF leather, which
they take 10 their homes. and after being
inspected and assorted by the entire fam

corner OF Hester and Essex Streets, right
in the heart OF the Ghetto. Here activity
reigns, thousands upon thousands OF wage
earners swarm through the streets; the
venders loudly cry their wares 20 attract
the attention Of bargain seekers.
After a day of b3ntering and talking
the woman has disposed OF her shoes and
goes home with an empty basket and a
pocket full OF small change. After rnany
weeks OF this routine the economical shoe
maker has saved enough to realize an
ambition, and he buys a pushcart "a two
