The American Shoe industry IS IN the grip
of the Leather Trust.
There is only one shoe manufacturing con-
Germ in the United States that can put what
they know to be honest leather into their
shoes.
They can do this because they own and
operate their tanneries independent of
the Leather Trust.
The name of that concern is Endicott,
johnson & Co. Their tanneries and factories
are located at Endicott, N. Y.
Back in 1898 III. B. Endicott and Geo. f.
johnson formed a partnership and started to
manufacture shoes.
Then the leather began to show bad quail
ties. The Leather Trust began to starve
the leather in tanning and distinguished
of using the slower and more expensive pro-
cesses that give leather its wearing qualities.
Cheap Processes in Trust Tanneries
Processes and short cuts crept in all
along the line. Hemlock used in place of good
oak tan bark. Chemical tannages that load
UP the weight of the leather-au sole leather
is sold by weight.
These conditions have existed for years
in Trust tanneries-the situation is getting
worse instead of better. Only recently, DR.:
Wiley, the Government chemist, declared
there should be a law like the Pure Food
Law to prevent tanners from using adulter-
ants in their processes
quantities by the Leather Trust to weight"
the leather-it looks 'full'' and plump"
but is really "brashy'' and rapidly breaks up
under wear.
Endicott, johnson & Co. refused to put
that kind of leather into their shoes.
Breaking Grip of Leather Trust
So Endicott and Johnson built their own
tanneries. Today they tan every pound
of leather they put into their shoes.
They tan every batch of hides for definite
kind of shoe, and perfect it in the tanning and
finishing for the service it is to give-an OBJ
vious advantage in the working qualities of
the leather and the durability of the shoes.
Their Forest Oak is honest old-fashioned
straight oak tanned sole leather.
Their 'sKromelk'' is the first and only
chrome-tanned sole leather to be perfected
and put to practical and satisfactory service.

three voted for the motion. Later
however this vote appeared to have
been cast on a motion at meeting
in December, 1903.
Homer Greene, Esq, attorney for
the plaintiff, Immediately interposed
an objection claiming that this was
simply an eXparte hearing for the
presentation of oral testimony to
satisfy the conscience of the Court
in continuing the injunction. The
Court, however, decided to admit
evidence on both sides, and the TAX
ing of testimony began.
Prothonotary Hanlan identified a
return sheet showing that at town
ship election held February 15,
1910, the question of whether there
should be a high school or not was
voted upon by the qualified electors
of South Canaan township and that
the majority of electors voted
against it, IS votes being cast in
favor of the proposed new building
and 112 against high school,
H. Il. Megargel, secretary of the
South Canaan township school
board, for the purpose of showing
that official action was taken by the
South Canaan school board for the
erection of school building,
identified the minute book, the pages
of which were not numbered.
The minute book showed that a
meeting of the school board was
held December IA, 1909, with all the
members present, when it was re-
solved that a building be erected at
cost not to exceed $4,000 to be
paid for with the issuance of bonds
par value $50, to bear interest at 5
per cent. and to give the necessary
legal notice for submission of the
proposition to the voters of South
Canaan at the February election
next. 4
The testimony brought out the
fact that the question of bonding the
district was never submitted to the
voters, the only vote ever held being
for a High school or not, rs voting
for and 112 against that proposition.
Attorney Greene offered in evil
dence the entry on the minute book
under date of June 5, 1911, reading
as follows:
On motion it was decided to
build high school in South Canaan
