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 FL. 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 fnishing-instead
OF using the slower and more expensive pro-
cesses that give toleather 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-a1 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 law like the Pure Food
Law to prevent tanners from using adulter-
ants in their processes"
Various cheap adulterants are used in large
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
Ctanneries. 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 ''Kronelk'' Is the first and only
chrome-tanned sole leather to be perfected
and put to practical and satisfactory service.
If your dealer does not sell these she

IL is the most durable sole leather ever made
weather proof, heat proof, all but wear proof
This leather has been initiated largely
since it proved so successful-but it cannot
property of Endicott, johnson & Co.
Endicott, Johnson & Co.'S tannages Of calf
skin and chrome-tanned upper leather are as
far ahead of commercial feathers as their
Forest Oak" and ''Kromelk" are ahead OF
commercial soles.
Extortionate Profits Saved
Endicott, johnson g. Co. find it perfectly
feasible to produce dependable, long-wear-
ing shoe and sell it at the price that the aver
age man wants to pay for his shoes.
Buying their hides in the open markets Of
the world, and operating their own tanneries,
they cut three profits out of the cost OF making
the shoes-the profits of the Hide Trust, the
Leather Trust and the Leather Jobber.
Then they cut out the Shoe Jobber's
proft-selling direct to your home shoe dealer
and $4,000 other retailers in this country.
Thanks to this ''hide to retailer" policy
Endicott, johnson & Co. can save you so
cents to 81 90 on every pair of shoes you buy.
This policy-and its service to the shoe
wearer-has made them the largest shoe
manufacturers In the world.
Endicott, johnson & Co. have the most
expert staff of shoe designers in the trade.
And style in an Endicott-Johnson shoe means
something-the real leather is back of the
style. The shoe is pliable yet firm and
solid. 1t holds ats shape, its fit, its finish.
You can buy Endicott-Joh shoes for
men, women and children-shoes for business
wear, work shoes, dress shoes, school shoes
for boys and girls.
ENDWELL-the Independent Shoe
The most popular shoe for general service
is their ENDWELL Goodyear Welt)-a
dress and business shoe that sells at $500.
$3.50 and $500.
Endicott, johnson B Co. make lines that
sell for more money-and still other lines at
a lower price.
You can have your choice of Shoe or Ok
tord-Lace and Button-all the fashionable
lasts-any width of toe-al the colors of
leather.
And the way those ST rs wear viii be rev.

FOR ROAD BUILDERS
SUGGESTIONS TO HELP THE IN
EXPERIENCED IN HIGHWAY
CONSTRUCTION.
FIRST STEP IS DRAINAGE
Get Water of and Away From Road
as Quickly as PossibIe-Weeds and
Sod Make TroubIe-Proper Use Ct
Gravel.
BY HOWARD H. GROSS.

1t Is not overstating the fact to say
that three-fourths of the men charged
with the responsibility of building
and repairing the roads the country
over, know very little about the sub
ject; they have not had the engineer
ing experience or even the practical
experience necessary; they have sim
ply followed their predecessors and
they do what the fellow before them
did.
In the movement for better high
ways the first step is more intelli-
gent expenditure Of the time and
money appropriated for the better
ment of the roads, to the end that the
community shall get the most and the
best results for its contribution. 1t
is common practice to do either the
wrong thing. or If perchance the right
thing is done, to do it at the wrong
time of the year, and the result is
very often an expenditure Of one dol
lar to get thirty cents worth Of bene-
fit. AS an instance we might cite
that Illinois is spending five million
of dollars year upon the highways,
and those in position to know, assert
that more than half of 1t is wasted
by Ill timed and misdirected effort.
The Yale expositor., 1911-06-22

What is true of Illinois Is true
throughout the central west.
In order to make suggestions that
will be of value one must assume
some typical conditions and indicate
what 1t is best to do to improve the
roads under them.
In road improvement the first and
most important step Is drainage.
Without proper drainage every effort
will fail. Water Is the only natural
enemy of roads, and water is a cow
ard and will run away II given a
chance, hence get the water OF the
road and away from the road as
quickly as possible. This may be
done either by surface or sub-surface
drainage, by side bitches with ample
fall and proper outlet to carry the
water away from the highway, or by
tile. If the latter Is done nothing
less than four inch tile ought to be
used and 1t should be very carefully
laid, and should be put on each side
of the road, particularly. where the
drainage is most needed. Be sure

Historic Event Celebrated.

Australia recently commemorated
the one hundred and forty-first ami
versary of Captain Cooks grst land.
ing. 1t was in 1870 that H. NJ. S. En-
deavor, a barque of $40 tons, entered
the inlet first called Sting Rays Har.
Dor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from
the beauty and variety of the plants
growing about its shore. The vessel
remained eight days, and before she
left the British flag was hoisted. AS
is the custom on each recurring ami.
versary, the flag was again unfurled
upon the spot where it was first dis
played, and was saluted by the guns
of the warships in the harbor.
The Yale expositor., 1911-06-22

the ruts must be filled as soon as
made.
When a grade Is once established
the surface thereafter should never
be disturbed except the top two or
three inches in order to smooth 1t
out with road drag or harrow.
We will assume that the fill has
been made preparatory to putting
gravel or crushed stone upon the
highway, and thus have a permanent
Improvement.
The following suggestions will be
of benefit to the inexperienced road
builder, who has simply farm tools to
use.
1t Is not designed to suggest to the
experienced builder, having improved
road machinery to use.
/ Where roads are graveled, It has
been very common for the farmers to
haul the gravel and dump it down in
a winrow, and leave 1t to be spread
and compacted by traffic. Every
driver avoids this winrow until soft
weather compels him to drive over
