Shoe Output

Tops Records

According to a recent Ministry
of Supply announcement, Norwe-
gian shoe production. Last year
topped all records with total out
put of 4,5OO,OOO pairs.
Aside from temporary shortages
of certain styles. there are enough
shoes on the market to meet pres
ent demand, and no decrease in
output is anticipated.
With few exceptions, mosts
shoes offered for sale in Norway
today are produced domestically
Limited imports of shoes from
England and Switzerland reaching
Norwegian markets this year re-
fleet trade policy rather than do
nestle shortages, according to the
Ministry spokesman. Home out
put is already indicating buyers
market, and Norwegian shoe man.
ufacturers are feeling competition
for the first time in many years.
In view of this positive develop
ment no import increases are con-
templated and retailers will soon
be almost wholly dependent on
Norwegian output.
