The most surprising statement made
at the ST. Louis meeting was to the
effect that there should be very little
advance in the price of fall shoes,
over those now prevailing, where deal
ers were forehanded and bought early
last spring, or in the late winter, for
September and October delivery.
The largest advances in leather
have been made since purchasers of
shoes for fall delivery were made. and
some labor costs were also added since
spring buying dates.
Because Of this effect many city
retailers at the meeting insisted that
there should be but little advance on
our shoes this fall, regardless of what
shoes bought for spring delivery might
cost later.
Some of the largest retailers in St.
Louis state that here will be no IRE
placement" values placed upon their
present or incoming stocks, until the
new shoes, since bought at higher
| levels, arrive, mostly months later on.
Labor Costs Not Excessive
Another surprising statement was
to the effect that the labor cost per
pair on the average run of shoes does
not figure greatly in the cost of manu-
facture. Note what the president Of
the ST. Louis Shoe Retailers Associa-
ton says:
1.-THE old story about labor costs is
thing that is tossed at us from every
angle. High wages in the pocket Of
the laboring man means good bust
ness. l want to good on record as be-
ing in favor of high wages.
In 1913 the average cost to produce
pair of shoes was "a to 38 cents.
The total labor cost per pair in 1913
was 54 to So cents. Don't let any
one tell you that labor costs is re-
! sponsible for the great advance in
shoes prices today"
| Mr.. Williams did not state whether
his cost" was on factory run, men,
women and children's shoes, or simply
on the ordinary run of womens shoes,
both oxfords and highs.
What Manufacturers Say
| Seventy-five of the largest shoe man
ufacturers met in New York recently
and adopted a series Of resolutions,
| looking toward a reduction in the
looking toward a reduction in and the
stabilizing of shoe prices. They stated
that they were-"Not in sympathy
with the unprecedented advances
which have taken place IN hides,
leather and shoes, during the past six
months"
They agreed to do their utmost
to check the advancing market and DO
discourage all buying and selling of
a speculative character, both among
manufacturers and merchants"
They stated that shoes sold in the
spring of 1920 must bring still high,
err prices, based on the present estab-
lished prices of leather and labor"

you have seen manikins perform on

of the featured acts the last-half will

of this act. Billy Noble and Miss Jean

act has been absent from vaudeville
for the last two seasons owing to the
