COST OF SHOES DOWN
Average Drop OF $4.4O A Pair From
The Top In 1920.

New York, July 15.-Starting in
1905, the Boot and Shoe Recorded,
of Boston. collected data on manu-
which then retailed at $3.50 Manu-
featuring cost was then $2.37. In
1908 il cost $246; in 1912 $2.64;
in 1916, $40; in January 1918
1891. In August in 1918 it had
gone TO $500 and in August 1919,
reached $822 Peak was reached
about six months later, when same
quality shoe cost $3.50. BY August
1920, manufacturing cost had reced-
ed TO Sos. The same shoe today
can be made at around $40.
Labor prices rose i'll about the
| same ratio as shoes. Labor cost in
| 1905 was 60 cents, while in 1920 1t
was about $1.3O.
In some manufacturing centers
| there has been slight modification OF
labor prices, but in most cities war.
| time schedule remains in effect. Ger
| tain classes of work, which during
| the war were on weekly pay basis
have recently been put on Il piece
| basis, which has resulted in large out
put per operator and consequently a
| slight decrease in manufacturing
| cost.
Survey oil snoe prices from data of
40 shoe manufacturers shows prices
| as of April. 1921, were about 33 1-3
| per cent. below last year.
Decline in shoe prices has come
principally from two sources, decline
| in upper and sole leather and from
| squeezing out of supert1uous mark
ups by manufacturers. There have
been declines in Innings, threads.
| laces and other items of findings, but
these have been comparatively small
and have not had much effect.
