shine as you do other places.
They take about five minutes
at least-more If they get a
good friend up there in the
chair"
The Rambler walked into
Mr.. Rose blooms shop,
climbed up on the high chair
and instantly got that feel
ing Of leisure-class elegance
as someone else went about
the task of Sprucing up a
pair Of pretty shabby shoes.
There was the smell Of
leather and polish and a Gus
toners cigar, the rhythmic
swish of brush on shoe, sun
light coming through the
window.
The shoes were saddle
soaped, given a coat of pol
ish. Neutral cream was put
on the toe, the sole was lined
with polish. With a pocket
5-cents-plus-tip lighter, the
Rambler in a conspicuously
clean pair of shoes went in
search of other shops.
Slim and Lenny and
Pancho were softly slapping
polish on three pairs of shoes
at STEMS Shoe Repairing and
Valet, 405 Eleventh street
NV.
Pancho said skeptically,
Five cents a shine? He may
use the same materials, but I
bet he doesn't use the same
old elbow grease"
A sign behind him said
regular shines a quarter; spit
shines, so cents; wax shines,
IS cents; two-tone shoes, rs
cents.
"A spit shine is when you
use a little water and polish"
said Pancho, adding, "but
it's mostly Just a little more
of the old elbow grease"
IN ONE CORNER of the
Fox Barber Shop, 1874 G
street NV, was James
Bakers stand. To Mr.. Baker,
shining shoes is a work of
art. He explained he uses a
special secret formula of six
liquid polishes. No amount
of wheedling could pry the
formula from him.
isn't it true some places
put after-shave lotion on the
shoe and then light it?" the
Rambler asked.
"Oh, some, maybe. Most
are too busy to give that kind.
Also the rhythm popping of
the rag has died out"
Mr.. Baker said his speciality
is two-toned shoes and that
doing them properly is a "del-
icate operation" His own
shoes cleaned, and he said,
"They always do. It's good
for business"
One man who admits he is
not that much of an adver-
tiSement is Mr.. Rosenbloom.
"A barber needs a haircut:
a tailor needs his coat
pressed. I don't get time to
get my shoes shined."
He is probably the one man
in that area who doesn't use
his own scent shine.
"I always get interrupted
If I stop to get them shined
here in my shop. I have to
go out to get them Shined.
I wait until I 60 to the bar

"It's been 5 cents from the

says" People are always so

made a mistake in change"
His shoe stands are part Of
his two Farragut Valet shops.
The older shop, at 1922 I

Mr.. Rosenbloom, who pays
his shoeshine boys a salary,
says the stunned customer is
usually good for a larger tip
than when he is charged a
quarter for a shine. But one
of the boys remembers a man
who gave him S cents plus
Q cents tip and defensively
said, well, it's almost 40 per

while the majority Of real

some INSCRIPTIONS promoters

soliciting mail order sales
