Shoe Trade Notes
By TT. W.

Mr.. j. A. Casey, superintendent,
Western Shoe Co, is on a business
trip to Milwaukee and Chicago in
speeding new sample feathers for
next seasons trade.
To the many inquiries about
Jacks gold brick, we can only say
And you too Brutus.''
Success is in being what we seem
to be. The hand of time strips the
mask of deceit from pre- ten e,
showing us how mean and miser-
able hypocrisy and duplicity APP
pear to the decent thinker.
A recent issue of Hide and
Leather" contained an interesting
account of the Canadian shoe in
dustry. Anew quotations from this
article will be of interest to the
boys now learning shoemaking who
are DESTROYS of going where they
are not known in order to begin
life anew.
The shoe trade in Canada has
been growing in quantity and quail
ity Of workmanship for some years,
and is still growing. A majority
of manufacturers report an increase
in orders over previous years, and,
in pite of dull business in the
states, the Canadian trade is in a
good healthy condition.
Montreal, Quebec, Maisonneur
and st. Hyacinth are the more inn
portant manufacturing cities.
The Ames-H Holden Co. control
large factories in Montreal a | so
one at St. Hyacinth. Goodyear
welts and Mckay shoes are made.
The Slater Shoe Go. turn out
1900 pairs Of high grade mems
and women's shoes daily. The Nc
Farlane Shoe Co. make turns and
slippers, also misses and youths
Welts.

Boobies
By a Fan.

The Philadelphia fans are rejoic-
ing over the fine work of the Phil
lies. To date this club has won
three fourths of all games played
and maintains such long lead that
the Big Three Chicago, New York
and Pittsburg- have their work all
cut out for them. The Phillies have
met and easily disposed of every club
in the league. It would seem that
the club profted greatly in the big
trade with Cincinnati last fall as Lo-
bert, Paskert, Rowan, and Beebe
are all doing fine work. The play
ers all like the manager, c. Redhead
Doom, and under his leadership are
excelling all past performances.
Their pitchers are all going well,
particularly the youngsters Alex
ander, Chalmers, and HUMPHREYS.
Earl Moore, the veteran. is doing
the most effective work of his ca
reer. The club leads in batting with
such sluggers as Magee, Titus, Lo-
bert, Doom, Knabe, and Doolan.
All in all the club has exc lie n t
chances for championship honors
and has hosts of enthusiastic well
wishers throughout the circuit.
