MIsBRANDED MERCHANDISE.

A bill has been introduced in Con-

branding of merchandise. The Fol
oral Trade Commission sees a great
need of stopping this form of misrep-
resentation But it does not feel that it
has sufficient authority under the ex-
isting law.
a shoe dealer was speaking the other
Jay of some typical authorizations in
his line. There are certain classes OF
trade that use a good deal of so-called
slit leather This is made by TAX
ing heavy piece OF COW hide from a
mature or old animal. and Sitting it
into several thicknesses. These layers
are apt to be hard ami "tinny" As
they do not contain the full fibre of the
hide, they are apt to tear and crack
very easily.
For many years shoes OF these split
layers were sold under the name "A
Calf" The dealers who bought the
goods knew perfectly well what they
were. But the goods and the boxes
containing them were marked "A
Calf" Probably the public thought
they wore getting q genuine calf skin

hundred tricks by which pasteboard

real leather.
