Greensboro, n. c., July 1.-The leading
spirit in the meeting of the Chair Manu-
facturers held here last night, was a
prominent New York man, who decalres
this morning that it was held for the
purpose solely of discussing the trade
situation, and to arrange some basis for
mutual protection, with no purpose what
ever 20 form trust, merger, combine or
consolidation of properties While moth

this. it IS a fact that the meeting was
harmonious throughout. and an agree

Jobbing ard manufacturing business was
reached, which it is said will be of great
benefit to them without in the slightest
degree hurting the retail trade or con-
sumers.

that there will be an advance of 10 per
cent upon all classes of furniture, chairs

vantage of this invention is that it
can be used In connection with 4 shoe
originally intended to be secured with
laces, the labor of making the altera-
ton being inconsiderable.
As illustrated in the drawing, this
fastening device consists of series of
projecting studs arranged on either
edge Of the upper with telescoping
slide arranged to engage the studs and
draw the edges of the upper toward
each other as the actions are expanded.
It will be seen that by grasping the
outer section Of this fastener and CIV
ing it an upward pull the inner sections
will arrange themselves from the bot
tom to the top of the opening, drawing
the edges together as they rise. The
two sections are shown in the picture to-
gether with views of the shoe opened
and closed. As the fastener is made of
spring metal 1t will allow sufficient
movement of the ankle to prevent bind
ing, having in this an advantage over
lace or button shoes. John F. Hawkes.,
