FROM FOREST TO FOOT.
THE MAKING OF RUBBERS AN
INTERESTING PROCESS.

II Charles Goodyear were alive today
he could discover nothing connected
with mis- invention In which so great
an Improvement has been made as in
the manufacture Of rubber shoes of the
best quality. In shape. durability and
comfort there Is no comparison be-
tween those experimental on by him
and those which are now shipped to
every city, town and village III the
United States and to all parts Of the
world by the Wales Goodyear Shoe Co.
The most dainty Partisan fashions in
footwear are reproduced in rubber with
such perfection that the material has
the appearance Of the finest patent
leather.
The making Of rubber shoe Is not
the commonplace affair that might he
supposed. 1t takes mine men to make
pin" they say, but to make a rubber
shoe 1t requires many more.
Few realize the number of operations
necessary to produce. from the crude
rubber biscuit. the highly finished rub
Der shoe Of today.
Briefly. the various steps may be de-
scribed as. washing. drying, compound
ing, calendering, cutting, making, var
nishing, vulcanizing, and packing, and
under each of these heads innumerab.e
minor operations are performed.
The Grinding and Calendering De-
partment is the one in which the crude
rubber as it comes from the forest is
washed, refined and prepared for mix
ing.
1t is impossible to make out of rub
Der alone, shoes that will stand eX-
treme changes In temperature. After
refining and mixing the mass tho cal
enders run the rubber into sheets, press
the special designs and markings and
corrugatlons into the parts which form
the soleG
By hand and by powerful STAMPS the
various pieces that compose rubber
are then cut out and sent to the p.ak-
ing ROOM where they are fittei to-
gether by deft hands. in such a way
that all joints and seams are covered.
- The vanishing, vulcaniZing and in
spection of each rubber comes next be-
fore the finished rubber IS ready for
shipment to the retailer
This Is only a hurried and brief
sketch of the various operations which
at every stage requires skilled labor,
sagaciouS supervision and the use OF
the highest grade material.
There are rubber shoes and rubber
shoes, of course, but the rubber shoe
that looks we'll and wears well Is the
result of not only the most conscienti-
Gus labor and long experience, but Of
the investment of enormous capital.
Such a rubber Is that of the Wales
Goodyear Shoe Co. This great concern
makes over forty thousand pairs Of
rubber boots and shoes daily.

II has been proven absolutely that the

1t is not generally known that in
some Of the widest and most re-

former pine forest land are some of
the finest farms and farm houses in
Michigan. They are the product of
farmers who were there early in the
history of Michigan, numbering, but
cleared the land in preference to go
ing into the lumber industry.
Away up in Pressure Isle county,
reached only by hours of driving by

500 acres in extent, with farm houses

placed on the opportunities which
