David S, Hendricks returned yesterday
after a three weeks trip spent touring
through the Northern States in his

Joseph Trew and his brother. Wilmot'

OF any sort.
For several years there has been an
increasing shortage of leather and
threatened increase in prices OF mems,
women's and children's shoes. This has
been true Of the leather used for soles.
As a consequence, there has been an
advance In the prices Of shoes, and II
began to look some time ago as II there
might come a day when shoes would
rank as a luxury to be reserved for the
rich alone.
Recognizing the danger, specialists IN
the B. F. Goodrich laboratories set to
work for the purpose OF developing a
material that would take the place OF
leather for shoe soles. Their efforts
have resulted in the production OF a
com position that is called Textan.
Exhaustive tests conducted under the
most exacting conditions" says J. L
wacksmuth. OF the Goodrich company,
have brought out that Textan not only
takes TIE place of leather for soles. but
that it is superior to the best oak-tan-
ned sole leather that has ever been used
in shoemaking.
"Textan wears longer than sole leath-
er OF the highest grade; II keeps It's
shape; 1t takes on a polish, Just as the
best leather does, making the new COM
position suitable for use on dress shoes,
as well as on those that are intended
for everyday wear, and It is water
proof.
