A SHOEMAKER TALKS
 ABOUT HIS TRADE

made shoes were hardly worn at all and people used to pay s1O. SIP and s14 for shoes. Now they can be made to order for about ss."
 "As ready made shoes are so cheap" remarked the by-stander. 'I would think that few people would have them half soled at the cost of dollar"
 Well" he replied, many people do buy new shoes instead of patching the old ones, but more people than formerly have them half-soled More shoes are worn, especially cheap shoes, and the soles wear out very rapidly. A shoe af- ter it has been half-soled lasts longer than before. The reason of this is that there is some poor leather in every side and the manufacturers have to work 1t all up, and the bad leather is put in the cheap shoes. When a shoe is half-soled good leather Is generally used and 1t therefore pays to have it done.
 Most people in Birmingham wear good shoes This is a sign of prosperity in the district, and good shoe is more worth half-soling than poor one. Prices for this work in Birmingham may be a little higher than in other places, but I expect they are about the same. A shoe can be half-soed by using nails for 75 cents. If 1t is sewed on we have to pick out the old stitches and the work is worth a dollar. Many people are using rubber heels now and these cost 50 cents extra I have never used them myself" he added, looking down at his own i'll shod "Triibys," but they say they are very comfortable At any rate it is be- coming very popular
