Of Leather Scarcity


Mr.. Henry Loeb has received the
following advice from Roberts, John
son & Rand, shoe manufacturers OF
ST. Louis. under date OF June II.
Mr.. H. Loeb,
Morgan City. La.
Dear Sir:
We are mailing you under separate
cover our latest price list, which will
,cquaintyou with the price of shoes
at the present time.
All kinds of leather have made
heavy advances within the past five
or six weeks. There seems to be
scarcity and it isn't an easy matter
to buy. regardless Of the price. Every
| kind of leather is now very much
! higher than we have ever known it.
We tan our heavy and medium weight
upper feathers. We bought hides the
early part of April at &c and 24c
per pound-the price now is Ale and
42c.
Light weight hides. such as calf
md kid are very much higher in pro-
portion than heavier weights. 1t
seems that large quantities of leath-
err are being exported to the European
countries and there have been EN-
oargoes on different kinds Of hides
INTO this country These conditions
have brought about a scarcity
The price of labor is very high
and they are demanding still higher
prices. In fact there are many strik-
ers all over the country in which they
are demanding higher prices and
shorter hours, more than at any time
during the period of the war
Business. is very good in this coun-
try, more especially in the agrieul-
tural parts. Corn. wheat ,oats. hogs.
cattle, sheep tobacco, and you might
say all kinds Of farm products. have
made steady advances since the Ar
mistice was declared. !
Our entire company has sold close
to FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
since our statesmen left with their
Fall samples. about March LIST. Of
this. about THIRTY THREE MIL
LION is future orders. We have
sold about all the shoes We can make
and ship up to September 18th. We
have called all of our salesmen off
the road.
If we were to base our prices on
today's price of leather, we would
have to make other advances. rang
ing from l5c to SOC per pair. We are
not expecting lower prices for quite
q while.
This letter was written for the pur-
pose of acquainting you with the
present condition of the shoe market.
We will ship all Of our Fall orders
and our customers can reasonably ex-
pect to have them all in their stores
by the time their Fall season opens.
Yours truly,
