people buy, but those with pretty girls
on the front are very popular. says

SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHOE
MEN.

Well, first there is old man Sutton
Selling shoes, both lace and button,
Whose Battle Axe song
Ringing out all day long
Brings him plenty OF bread and
mutton.
Then there comes young Floyd
Tucker,
Who on looks. is right much OF Il
mticker.
But that good line of Miles"
That he sells while he smiles.
Draws his lips to beautiful Cd
quicker.
Next in line are the two brothers
Moss,
Which is which; well. I'm oft at loss
Whose great selling ability
Has caused much hostility
Towards .'Fleischman & Morris" their
boss.
Now last, but not least, old Tom
Red"
Aaron. Of whom il Is said,
VIII send down with a bump
WinEo, Ellet and Crump,
When his pencil runs out of it's lead.
There are many. oh. so many more.
or the men selling shoes by tho
score,
BUT IL those that are left
Are with deep grief bereft.
Sopae day. I will give them some more.

As to Hides and Leather.

What is the matter with the hide

ject which has recently come up for
a great deal of discussion in and out
OF the trades Immediately affected.
what brought the discussion to an
acute phase was a statement recently
issued by Thomas G. Plant. retired
shoe manufacturer. His opinion was
that the retailers of shoes were car
rying abnormally large stocks ac-
CURED at too high prices. and that
this was a danger signal. Meanwhile
the manufacturers had. by means OF
extra 'arge profits. been able to Sc
cure themselves by putting aside re-
