What Is Accomplished by the Aid
of Wonderful Machinery.
The machines shown in the Berberich
exhibit form one Of the most interesting
groups imaginable. and many compli-

enterprise which could conceive ard carry

questions regarding the quality OF the
materials used or the details of the Won
derful Goodyear Well System employed in
making them.
As a shoe is made either a comfort or
a torment in its manufacturing process,
the following brief details regarding the
construction Of a Goodyear Welt Shoe
will interest not only the thousands who
have already visited the exhibit, but those
who are sure TO dc so before its close.

made to feel that whatever the atti-

past, no effort would be spared by the
new company TO earn their approval
and merit success As rapidly as pos
