How Shoe Pea Was Invented

To a Massachusetts man, Joseph
Walker. is due the credit of invent
ing the shoe peg. Previous to the
year 1918 its use had not been known,
and its inventor gave a new start
to the manufacture Of boots and
shoes
Shortly after the introduction Of this
invention some inscriptions parties
are said to have tried to swindle the
unsuspecting by endeavoring to sell
shoe pegs as a new kind of oats.
Up to 1918 boots and shoes had
been sewed. and the peg. made first
by hand. came in to revolutionize the
trade. 1t was. however, the custom OF
shoemakers who lived away from the
manufacturing centers to make their
own pegs by hand even as late as
1880, but the machine-manufactured
peg has now superseded them.
