WAY shoes pen,t squeak NOV.

EDO you remember" asked the
shoe salesman, "the days whensnew
shoes creaked? And how you used to
have re shoemaker put wooden pegs
in the middle of the soIe about every
week to stop the noise? Sometimes
yon soaked the soles of your shoes IN
water and then had to rub them with
lard or some other kind of grease TO
get them flexible. Yon don't have
to do that now. The new welt has
taken the squeak away. In the old
days the soles of shoes consisted OF
two even pieces of leather. and the
friction CT the two pieces caused the
squeak when a person walked.
slices are made differently now.
You gee that little piece OF rigid
leather that runs from the heel around
the outside of the sole? That's what
we cal. the welt. 1t is a piece of
leather about an inch wide, sewed 10
a flap cut and turned under the inside.
Tie space between the outer side and
the iasofe is Allied with ordinary tar
paper, which holds the soles in shape
and also prevents squeaking by TAX.
ing away the friction. This system
of welt was invented 30 years ago.
hut at first it wasn't success because
the soles were sewed with a straight
needle. Couldn't explain 1t to you In
100 years, but to prevent the squeak
ing the soles of the snoe have to be
se@ed with a crooked needle."-
