Today Endicott, 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
of the world and tan every foot and pound OF
leather they use. This not only means a big
saving in cost and better tannage, but It means
tanning every lot Of leather with an eye to the
particular shoe that IS to be made from ia
great advantage in the working quality Of the
stock and the wear Of the shoes.
EndicOtt-JOhnSOn Co. have developed prOc-
eSSeS that double the life Of some feathers.
They tan 900 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 10000 shoe stores sold the
product of the Endicott-JoFnson Co. factories
which is the largest output of any individual
concern.
beautiful town has grown up around this
enteTpriSe-tFe town Of Endicott, New York
where five thousand people depend for their
livelihood upon the Endicott-JohnSon factories
and tannerieS.
Established in their tannerieS. Endicott, John
son s. Co. save the wearer three profits on the
leather in his Shoe-the Hide dealers profit, the
Tanners profit and the Leather-jobber'S profit
] heIT last saving 10 the WeaTeT was 10 cut out
the profit Of the wholesale shoe house and sell
their shoes direct TO the retail store in every town.
The leather IN Endicott-JohnSon shoes viii
wear as leather used to wear twenty years ago in
the DAYS Of honest tanning.
Endicott-J Johnson make shoes for the working
man 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 wearer from SOC TO Si.OO on
every pair and give him leather that simply
cannot be had in any other shoe.
Now the reader viii naturally say, "Why
doesn't everybody wear EndicOtt-Johnson shoes
and why doesn't every shoe store sell tllem?'
Everybody does want TO wear Endicott-JoEn-
son shoes as soon as they know about them, and
nearly 10000 stores are selling the goods.
Some dealers are not as quick as others to
fall into line.

Commenting upon this the
Charlotte Observer speaks thusly:
This is strong language, espec-
tally the phrase condemning bri-
berry sentiment as well as the act
ual offense. How can voters feel
convinced that an ofice-seeker,
though perhaps protesting puri-
.ty, has not already committed
bribery in his heart? On the other
hand, uncharitable or interested
suppositions may work injustice.
But to buy or unduly influence
votes is undeniably avery great
wrong. IF it exists in Mcdowell
county, as it evidently does, all
proper methods for its extirpation
should be invoked"
The language appears a little
emphatic, but the patient requires
vigorous treatment. Leaders of
both parties should cooperate
heartily in an earnest effort to
bring back conditions that existed
before boodlers and corruption
lists came upon the scene. Respect
able people r thoroughly dis
gusted with present day practices
and the sooner vote buying is eli
mated from our campaigns the
better it. will be for the public.
