A machine has been provided for automatically cleaning shoes. The foot is inserted into a properly arranged opening and the railing of the machine is firmly grasped. A small motor actuates rotary brushes that re- moves the mud. The foot is next placed in the backing ar engagement proper, which acts as the dauber, and the third set of brushes is devoted to polish ing. One shoe having been suf- ficiently polished the other foot is then inserted in the first aperature, etc. A needle on machine indicates the various stages in the operation. The only precaution to be observed is to turn up the bottom of the trousers sufficiently so that they will not be caught in the rotating brushes.
