THE AMERICAN SHOE.

That the American shoe is rapidly
gaining ground In the chilean mar
ket. is the report OF Vice Consul Baker
OF Valparaiso,
He remarks that the high price caused
by a very high tariff has kept foreign
shoes out " the chilean market. a
duty Of so per cent plus another 40
per cent Tor freight commission, insur-
ance. etc. added 90 the original whole
sale cost of SO 20 $3.50 places the re-
tail price out Of the reach Of the Gus
toner.
by the law Of 1907 the duty on shoes
Is gradually being reduced to a min
lmum Of 80 per cent. which will be
reached on January / Of next year, and
in view OF this fact many orders are
being placed for delivery az that time.
Mr. Baker thinks that while high
grade American shoes win not have an
extensive market IN Chile, the shoe re-
failing for 81. 81 or s. IN the United
states. win meet the demand Of the
American market and can be sold at a
handsome profit.
This Is but one more testimony TO
the excellence OF the American shoe,
which Is probably the neatest, the
most comfortable. and taken all round,
the best shoe that Is made
