The Harrison times., 1911-04-15

The American shoe industry is in the grip
of the Leather Trust.
There is only oneIshoe manufacturing con-
cern 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 tannerics independent of
the Leather Trust. -
The name of that concern is Endicott,
johnson & Co. Their tanneries and factories
are located at Endcott, N. Y.
Back in 1898 H. B. Endcott and Geo. F.
johnson formed partnership and started to
manufacture shoes.
Then the leather began to show bad quail
ties. The Leather Trust began to starvc
the leather in tanning and distinguished
of using the slower and more expensive pro-
ccsscs that give to leather its wearing qualities.
Cheap Processes in Truot Tanneries

along the line. Hcmlock used in place Of good

Is sold by weight.
These CONDITIONS have c1isted for years
in Trust tanneries--,he situation is getting
worse instead of better. Only recently, DR..
Wiley, the Government chemist, declared
there should be law like the Pure Food
Law to prevent tanners from using adulter-
ants in their processes"
Various cheap aGulterants are used in large
quantities by the Leather Trust to weight"
the leather-it looks 'fu!l" 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 "Kromelk" is the first and only
chrome-tanned sole leather to be perfected
and put to practical and satisfactory service

ing shoe and sell it at the price that the aver
age nan wants to pay for his shoes.
Buying their hides in tie open markets Of

they cut three profits out of the cost of making

The fact that many Americans are
Active-minded and interested in many
things perhaps explains why they are
especially intolerant Of bores. 1t may
be said. indeed. that this intolerance
characterizes that oft-mentioned. but
never clearly described person known
as the average American. He is not
necessarily uncivil to bores; he may
be polite and courteous to them while
In their society. and the afiiicting crea-
lures may never guess that they are
bores. but he is not patient with them.
He escapes from their presence at the
FIRST opportunity; he evades and
avoids them; he is busy when he sees
them coming. and he has urgent en-
gagements when they seek to detain
him. Possibly the intolerant, impa-
tient one is needlessly scornful Of his
tiresome friends, !or they are not viii

open arms. With a youth OF his pro
clivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable. At NO time
oVerfond OF study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as a most desirable
emancipation from the restraint OF
home life. The love Of books he con-
sidered q pose and he scofred at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by It's most undesirable features, its
sports. its secret societies, its petty
cliques, and its rowdyism. The broad
spirit and the dignity Of the alma
mater he ignored completely. Directly
he went to Yale he started In to en-
joy himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood As guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him
In the entire history of the university.
Reading attendance at lectures, be-
came only, . convenient cloak to con-
ceal his turpitudes. Poker playing,
automobile Joy rides, hard drinking
became the daily curriculum. In
town rows and orgies Of every descrip-
ton he was soon recognized leader.
Scandal followed scandal until he was
threatened with expulsion. Then his
father heard Of 1t and there was q
terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr., went i'm
mediately to New Haven and there
followed 4 stormy interview in which
Howard promised to reform, but once
the parents back was turned things
went on pretty much as before. There
were fresh scandals, tho smoke Of
which reached as far as New York.
This time Mr. Jeftries tried the plan
Of cutting down the money supply and
Howard found himself financially en-
barrassed. But this had not quite
the effect desired by the father, for.
rendered desperate by his inability
to secure funds with which to carry
ON his sprees, the young man started
in to gamble heavily, giving notes for
his losses and pocketing the ready
money when be won.
Then came the supreme scandal
which turned his fathers heart to
steel. Jetrries, Sr., could forgive much
in young man. He had been young
himself once. None knew better than
he how difficult 1t is when the blood
is rich and red to keep oneself in
control But there was one offence
which a man proud Of his descent
could not condone. He would never
forgive the staining Of the family
name by q degrading marriage. The
news came to the unhappy father like
a thunder-clap. Howard, probably in
drunken spree, had married secretly
a waitress employed in one Of the
sporty" restaurants in New Haven
and to make the mesalliance worse
the girl was not even Of respectable
parents. Her father, Billy Delmore
the poolroom king, was q notorious
gambler and had died in convict
stripes. Fine sensation that for tbs

That was the last straw for Mr.. JEFF
ries, Sr. He sternly told his son that
he never wanted to look upon his face
again. Howard bowed his head II
the decree and he had never seen hil
father since.
All this the young man was review
