Making Saddles
for the War

The Sentinel Butte Saddlery
Co. is always busy place but
more particularly just now since
the firm has received a 100000
contract from the Studebaker Co.
for saddles for the allied armies
of Europe. 1t will be remember
ed that the Studebaker people
took a $7,000.000 contract a
short time ago to furnish harness
and saddles for European COM
panies and their agents immed-
lately cast about for the best
places to sub contract a large
portion of the work. They con-
tracted to supply 6rst-class sad
dies and they knew that there
was no place in the United States
where they could procure a bet
ter article than from the Sentinel
Butte Saddlery Co.. the largest
manufacturing company in this
inc in North Dakota.
Manager F. w. Peterson has
been east the past two weeks get
ting an additional crew of 8 to
10 saddle makers and ordering
the necessary leather and other
material for this large contract.
In fact, the main stock of saddle
leather was ordered by wire be-
fore Mr.. Peterson went into the
Milwaukee and Chicago markets.
His business foresight told him
that there was bound to be a
sharp advance in the price of
saddle leather. and he was right
the price in one day taking an en-
ormous advance.
The advance in the price of
both harness and saddles is like
ly to be quite marked in the
spring. Manager Blick of the
Sentinel Butte Saddlery Co. at
Dickinson is congratulating him.
self that large stock of collars
and harness was carried over as
he does not think it will be poss-
ible to duplicate the prices paid
for this kind of stock last fall.
1t is also likely too that the
price of shoes and other leather
goods will advance in price be-
fore long.-Dickinson Press.

Congress Adjourned

into history few minutes after today when both the
senate and house adjourned de after unexpected

The Colorado statesman., 1915-03-06

A NEW aspirant for favor, with all
~ the signs pointing toward its sue
cess, is just launched. Smart shoes,
fun of snap and style, usher in the
military mode in footwear, with colors
and braidings and new features in cut
snd finish distinguishing them from
ttme-honored styles from which they
have departed
The vogue for cloth-topped boots
having gray or tan or white uppers
will help to make the military shoe Il
success. The transition from these to
colors less unobtrusive promises to
be easy. Footwear has for the past
three seasons been growing more
SNOWY and no one can deny the at
tractiveness of boots made to match
costumes, and the elegant black and
white footwear which has distinguish
ed the season just passing.
But the new military styles are not
contining the manufacturers to neu-
tral or quiet colors. Their uppers are
made in cloth, in regimental or other
blue shades, in maroon, green and
brown. Just the smartest develop
ments of all for spring is the shoe
having cloth like the gown embodied
in its makeup. The strong materials
used in tailored skirts answer the pur-
pose very well. A more practical idea
is evident in spats, made of the ma.
terfai of the gown, to be worn over
either high or low shoes having patent
leather vamps.
The military shoes are ornamented
with soutache braid and frightened
with patent leather tips. They are
one of the straws which show which
way the wind blows in new footwear.
The trend Of fashion is toward more
fancifu' models.
