Here are Some Facts

The people of the United States spend with
bootblacks more than 100000 annually.
Thousands actually spend more for shines than
they do for shoes.
The bootblack stands in the Equitable Building
stands in the large cities rented at even higher
figures.
Shoe shining has become vast business through
out the country and the public camors for
method that will save time.
The Automatic Shoe Shining Machine will do
the work in one-sixth the time required by the
average bootblack.
1t would require more than 5000 machines to
supply the territory already applied for. An aver.
age earning Of 81 90 per day this number would
on our royalty basis net the corporation 100000
per year--nearly 800 per cent on the entire capital
stock.
