An average of over S10S.0OO for each salesman. and seventeen of them only travelled the last three months of the year!
 That is the record of the salesmen of the Hamilton Brown Shoe Company and it is the greatest record ever made by anybody of shoe salesmen in the world.
 That one shoe house could ship over S1l .OO0, 900 worth of shoes in a single year Is in itself an interesting fact It becomes doubly interesting when 1t is known that only one shoe house In the world has ever been able to do it.
 That house is the Hamilton, Brown Shoe Company, located at St. Louis. Mo.
 The Hamilton. Brown buildings. if placed one upon another would make a building fifty-stories high, measur- ing over 650 feet from the ground to the top-over 100 feet higher than the Washington Monument.
 Five thousand five hundred people are required to make and ship these shoes.
 Over 1S,0OO merchants in all parts of the world. including Wertheim's of Berlin, German-the finest store in the worId--are selling these shoes.
 The American lady and American Gentlemen shoes are probably the best known of the Hamilton, Brown output, although each of their factories is highly specialized and their product in cludes the best shoes produced for eV- cry age. sex and calling. adv.
