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
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.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1911-04-26

1t is the most durable sole leather ever made
weather proof, heat proof, all but wear proof.
This leather has been initiated largely
since 1t proved SO successful-but it cannot
be duplicated because it is the exclusive
property of Endicott, johnson {. Co.
Endicott, Johnson & Co.'S tannages Of calf
skin and chrome-tanned upper leather are as
Forest Oak and ''Kromelk'' are ahead of
commercial soles.
Extortionate Profits Saved
Endicott, johnson &; Co. find it perfectly
feasible to produce dependable, lonp-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
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- J ohnson shoe means
something-the real leather is back of the
style. The shoe is pliable yet firm and
solid. 1t holds it's shape. its fit, its finish.
You can buy Endicott- johnson 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 So. 90.
so and $500.
Endicott, Johnson & Co. make lines that
sell for more money-and still other lires at
lower price.
You can have your choice of Shoe or Ok

lasts-any width of toe all the colors Of
leather.
And the way those shoes wear will be rev.

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 1893 H. B. Endicott 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 finishing instead
OF using the slower and more expensive pro-
cesses that give to- leather it's wearing qualities.
Cheap Processes in Trust Tannerie.
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-all 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.

Nine-Cent Cotton.

Can Cotton" asks the Times
Democrat, 'sbe profitably pro-
duced at 8 IL cents. with corn
at 8 cents ia Chieago?" The an
swer depends. If the cotton
grower raises his corn pork and
short ribs, he can certainly pro-
duce cotton profitably at 9 IL
cents, or even less. But, if he
buys his supplies in Chicago ne
stands a poor chance Of paying
his bills, and taxes and etceteras,
at g 1-2 cents or even more

Whenever the farmer OF the
South raises all his corn, pork,
hay, ETC., they will then be IN a
position to dictate the price OF
cotton without any outside help.
I In that event the farmers, II
they are organized, and in shape
to help one another, will be suffl-
Gent unto themselves. And ev-
ery year that the Farmers I'm

The Favorite Son of Menace.

The Dallas News says Of the
opposition to Woodrow Wilson:
Undoubtedly he is the choice
of a large majority of the rank
and file Democrats of the nation.
But Gov. Wilson has powerful
opponents. The standpatters in
his own party are mostly against
him. The mossbacks are afraid
of him., the smachinists' dislike
him because they feel subcon-
'sciously.that he has no liking
for their kind. In several states
the machines will back favorite
sons, which is another name for
dummy candidates, and if Gov.
Wilson shall not be nominated on
the first ballot, room for trading
and manipulation may be found.
This, very likely, will result in
the defeat Of the general favor
tie and the nomination of some
one to whom the masses of the
people cannot be drawn. And
that will be equivalent to the
success of the Republican nomi-
nee, a consummation not at all
distasteful to some of the self
constituted leaders of Democra-
cy.'

and these same ginners esti-
mate the number of bales yet to

would indicate that about IS per

and agreed upon a final payment
to the ontractors of $3.50. The
district received credit for every
expenditure Of the commissions
ers in work done and material
paid for. The only shaving was
in the penalty charged against
the contractors for failure to
complete the contract within
specified time, this being cut
down slightly.
The contractors claim that in
the Newport system, they lost
$14,5OO of which $11,700 fell up
on Mr.. Noble to bear and $1,000
upon Mr.. Gardner.
The sewer system has a capac-
ity necessary for a city of 10000
people the sewerage main pipe
being 10 inches IN diameter,
while the intake pipe Of the wa
ter plant is only 8 inches. If
the water plant were run full
time and all of the water sent
out through our sewer system,
the pipes of same would be tax
ed only about half of their ca
pacity.

and praise of this constituency
for their public spirited interest
and labor in the accomplishment
of this great Improvement for
Newport that will promote gen
eral health and give the city a

Balmy Weather

Succeeds Blizzard.
The cold wave has passed east
ward and now the Eastern
States are feeling its effects. In
Virginia and Tennessee the Their
mometer Tuesday showed a read

Orleans reported "a and Jack
sonville 38, with a general kill
ing frost in the Gulf States.
So far as Arkansas is. con-
cerned, this cold wave has pass
iedintoshistory. A storm has de-
veloped in the Northwest, which
has caused much warmer wealth
er in the Southwest and the
Rocky Mountain States, and the
indications are that from now on
the weather is going to grow
warmer for a day or two, and
there will be some cloudiness.
The shortness of our cold spells
is one Of the pleasant features of
our Arkansas winters. No mat
ter howcold it may get, there. is
always the assurance that the
cold will not last more than two
or three days, and that it will
be followed by warmer condi-
tions with balrny winds.
