it went to j. 9. Adams. Eight Years

pEyoluTIoNlzINd THE SHOE BUSINESS

OF all the wonders IN Industrial and COM
mercial development the great shoe organ
izatlon Of the ENDlCOTT-JOHNSON CO.,
at Endicott N. Y. Is probably the most
notable example Of the times.
BY a single stroke Of daring and unpre-
cedented business tactics this concern has
shaken the very foundations Of the whole
shoe trade.
Beginning In a small way, the company
made old fashioned leather boots and sold
them only to the obbing trade. These were
known as the Lester boot and will be remem-
bered today by many Of the older generation
throughout the country.
BY careful attention to business and the
production Of reliable goods the house grew
steadily until Il eventually owned the larg-
est factory in this country. Step by step
the company began to make other kinds and
grades of footwear until all varieties of
shoes worn by men were a part of their
output.
About six years ago n. B. Endicott and
Geo. r. Johnson, the senior members of the
firm, saw the possibilities of shoe busi-
ness built upon the correct basic principles
OF tanning their own leather and placing the
finished shoes direct on the shelves of local
stores at one small maTBin vi piont ilStcau
of the three or four customary profits under
che old plan.
ENDiCOTT-JOHNSON co. first became
known to the world at large three years age
when this plan was put into full operation
It struck the shoe world like thunder
bolt from clear Sky and rumbled on across
the country until today shoes stamped
ENDlCOTT-JoHNSON CO. are sold ir
over $500 stores scattered throughou
every state in the Union.

Taft on a Low Level.

Mr.. Taft reached low level of
appeal in Kansas that fairly puts
him in the class where words need
not be buttered In reply. Rebuked
by the ablest of his organs, the
New York "Times," for his stulti-
flying and false comparison of
wheat and corn prices in former
speeches, he now juggles the fig
ures in another way. To escape
the force of the official statistics
he suddenly employs the "average
price," but again he is in error.
He asserts that that price for four
Democratic years was 40 cents.
The Government compilation says
it was rs cents. But if the tariff,
and not foreign demand caused by
shortage abroad coincident with
crop failure at home, controls
wheat prices, why was wheat 95
cents before the Wilson bill was
repealed; why was it 70 cents in
1899, two years after the Dingley
bill's passage, 80 in 1899 and 1900,
and 83 in 1902, when the sainted
Roosevelt had arrived and Farmer
Taft was denying jury trials to
our Filipino subjects?

one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-

A well-known druggust here at

prescription, stated that the in
gredients are all harmless, and can
De obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is Oft
en- prescribed in rheumatic aftlic-
tions with splendid results, he
could see no reason why it would
not be splendid remedy for kid
ney and urinary troubles and back
ache, as 1T has peculiar action
upon the kidney structure, cleans

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh

to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.

cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of

whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results.
Again you read quotations of

Also Current News, facts and re-

all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and

sources of information.
