Do you know that the wholesale shoe
sales Of st. Louis reached the enormous
total of sS5, SIS, s2e.1S in the year closed
June 30. 1906? This fact is shown in a
statistical table prepared by License Com
missioner Clifford from the sworn reports
made to him by the wholesale shoe houses
Of st. Louis. These reports form the
basis for the assessment of the special
taxes on merchants in this line Of bust
ness.
This same table shows that the whole
sale shoe business of St. Louis has in
creased during the past five years $6.77S.-
173. Much Of this total is sales of stock
manufactured in this city or In factories
adjacent to the city which are owned by
St. Louis firms.
The assessment year runs from June to
June and therefore 1906 may be taken
to have officially closed. The compilation
of the data supplied under oath by the
great firms who are spreading the fame
of this city far and wide is now complete
and is comparatively shown in the above
table
During the five-year period several
houses have passed out of existence from
various reasons, but none because this
is not an advantageous territory in which
to sell goods. This is affirmatively shown
in the table. for. while some houses have
increased their volume of sales more rap
idly than others. all-save one-havc in
creased enormously and continuously.
The increase in five years approximate
100 per cent for all the houses combined
All houses have not increased at the same
ratio, but the large majority have shown
satisfying amount of growth.
Most remarkable is the advance of the
Roberts. Johnson 81 Rand company from
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-08-26

third to second place. with an increase
of S5,O25.S75. In June. 1902. IL was assessed
on sales aggregating 5000, 4l9. and in June
1906. IL is assessed on sales aggregating
s. OF 296. This Is the greatest increase
made by any shoe houses I'm st. Louis.
The Roberts. Johnson & Rand advance
was made in spite or the fact that the
Brown company. which held the second
position five years ago. IN the year end
ing June 80 1906. nearly doubled the sales
Of the year ending June 90 1902.
The increases from year to year do not
vary so much as one unfamiliar with
these Official figures would suppose. The
period for June 80 1902. to June. 1903.
covers some Of the worst days Of our
latest financial depression, yet the Ham
ilton-Brown company increased 500 600 in
it's sales. the Roberts, Johnson & Rand
Increased s., OOO, 0S0 the Brown company in
creased $51S.OS5. the Peters company in
creased $6SO, 900, and the total increase was
s4.172.512.
In the following year, while the Roberts,
Johnson & Rand increased $780, 800, the
Brown company increased $500 473 and the
Peters $4,000 and the total increase was
nearly $6.5O0,OOO.
The year 1905 finds these houses still
growing The total advance for the year
is nearly $2O00.OOO which Is not so great
a rate as i'm previous years. But 1906
shows big advances, which make up for
the falling off of the previous period.
Hamilton Brown advanced 100000; Rob-
erts, Johnson & Rand, S1.SOO,665; Brown
company. S5O5, $50. and the Peters com
pany, $780, 900 and the entire list &,245. 400.
The glory OF il all is that these great
houses are still growing and making st.
Louis permanently the premier shoe mar
! ket of America.

Sore Places Made by Glas-

Considering the quietude that has
reigned in political circles in ogden so
far this season. yesterday was quite an
active day for the politicians, both local
and from other parts of the state. Per-
haps the most peculiar combination was
found in the guests of c. A. Henry at
the Weber club at noon, when Joel Priest

the flow of orator during the few min

justice to a much more notable gather

Matter Not Settled.

It would appear that the decision of
Judge Howell, rendered a short time ago.
in which he held that the west half Of the
city hall square could be used for no 9TH
er than public purposes, had not settled
the question, at least with some of those
who seem DESTROYS of seeing the city tied
up in litigation. II is suggested now
that the matter be carried to the supreme
court for final determination.
