A well known merchant of this

IN stock. This is not in line with
his business and when asked his
idea in handling such goods, which
the reporter inferred had small sale,
he said they were always in demand.
1T would surprise you" he con
tiHued. ito learn how many soles we
sell a year and the class OF people
who purchase them. Scarcely a day
passes that some OF the leather is
not sold and to men perfectly able to
have their shoes repaired at the
cobblers.
Those who purchase the leather
do 1t because they like to do the
work Of hah-soling. They can procure
the tools without much cost and from
everything they say / judge they
enjoy the work very much.
Some Of my weathiest Gus
toners buy the soles and, from a
glance at their shoes, l judge they
are excellent cobbiers."
