The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1910-10-26

Some dealers are not as quick as others TO fall
into line.
A retail shoe dealer has his friends and his old
business associates from whom he has been buy
ing shoes for years
He has his store full of other shoes perhaps,
and he doesn't like to break into his lines with
another make.
Sometimes shoe dealer likes to have his own
name on every pair of shoes and keep the wearer
from knowing where they are made. This
enables him TO keep the matter of profit entirely
in his own hands
Its not always the shoe dealers fault Some
large wholesale shoe houses pay expert statesmen
$40, 900 to SIS, 900 year just because of their
ability TO 90 out and sell the retail shoe dealer
and keep him satisfied
Eudicott, Johnson & Co do not employ fancy
talent on their selling force; and they are some
what particular as TO the kind of dealer that sells
their shoes,
After they have worked so hard to reduce the
cost of shoes to the wearer and cut out the four
intervening profits. they want to do business with
the shoe dealer who is willing TO sell their goods
at fair living proht-a dealer who would rather
make his money by small margin on many sales
than big profit on few sales
The selection of the right dealers to handle
the Endicott Johnson line is problem, just as
was the building of their tanneries and the get
ling rid of the shoe jobber,
Endicou Johnson & Co can sell all the shoes
they make each year But their business is
growing every year and the future of their bus
mess depends upon the service they render the
wearer.
Il is question that the wearer must help them
decide.
Now, as a buyer and wearer of shoes every
reader OF this paper mas right to vote on this
question ofbuyng shoes independent of all trusts.
Are you content to go on paying four profits
on every pair of shoes you buyi
Are you satisfied to pay tribute to the hide
trust, the leather trust the leather iobber and the
shoe jobber-and about how long do you think
you are going to submit to i'll

To-day, Endicot, Johnson & Co are indie.
pendent Of all Trusts They are the only
shoe people in the United States that do
not pay tribute to the leather combination.
They buy the raw hides in the open markets
oil the world and tan every foot and pound of
leather they use. This not only means big
saving in cost and better tsnnage, but it means
tanning every lot of leather with an eye to the
particular shoe that is to be made from il - a
great advantage in the working quality of the
stock and the wear Of the shoes.
Endicou Johnson & Co have developed pro-
cesses that double the life of some Learners
They tan 1000 skins Of calf leather every day.
They tan nearly 1000 sides of the finest upper
leather and 1900 sides OF sole leather every day
Last year, nearly 80, 600 shoe stores sold the
product OF the Endicott- Johnson Co. factories.
which is the largest output of any individual
concern.
A beautiful town has grown up around this
enterprise the town Of Endicott New York
where FIVE thousand people depend for their live
lihood upon the Endicou Johnson factories and
tanneries.
Established in their tanneries. Endcott, John
son s. Co save the wearer three profits OIL the
leather in his shoes = the Hide dealer profit,
the Tanners profit and the Leather jobber's
profit.
Their last saving TO the weaer was to cut out
the profit Of the wholesale shoe house and sell
their shoes direct to the retail store in every town.
The leather in Endicou- Johnson shoes will
wear as leather used to wear twenty years ago in
the days of honest tanning
Endicott- Johnson make shoes for the work
ingman and dress shoes as fine as any man wants
to wear They sell school shoes and shoes for
women And because they have cut out four
profits between the Tanner and the shoe store
they can save the wesrer from SOC to 81. 90 on
every pair and give him leather that simply can
not be had in any other shoe.
Now the reader will naturally say why
doesn't everybody wear Endicott- Johnson shoes
and why doesn't every shoe store sell themP'
Everybody does want to wear Endcott- Johnson
shoes as soon as they know about them, and
nearly 80, coo stores are selling the goods.

a rate OF growth considerably above that
maintained by the larger cities, the rate
for the aggregate population of the
small cities being 1913 per cent. and that
for the larger S0l, There was no such
contrast in the decade 1920 to 1900, dur
ing which the increase of the smaller
cities in the aggregate was 1872 per cent.
and that Of the larger 1921 per cent"
The returns for all of the cities which
