the largest shoe manufacturers in the world. Mr.
Breer says:
"The shoe question today is vital one, partcul-
arly people with large families and last but
least to the retailer On account of labor cond-
tons and high cost of manufacturing and higher
cost of doing business generally, shoes of neces-
tanners and shoe manufacturers should raise the
prices in such fantastic steps as to make the
sumner weep. (The only excuse is CRAFTY
IF enough consumers today pay $500 for pair
CT shoes they make $4,000 shoes possibility. If
enough consumers pay $4,000 for a pair of shoes,
they make $500 shoes possibility, and if enough
pay $25 90 there is a chance they may run them up
to $4,000 pair on you The only question is:
"TIow much will the traffic stand! Of course
everyone has perfect right to pay much for
shoes as they fit but you should remember that
shoes are, for some families, dire necessity and
that you are inviting instrumental in advancing
the shoes for the large families that cannot afford
to pay those high prices.
