WHAT'S IN A SHITE?
Leather, of Course, but There
Are Lots of Other Things.
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Reading the 8tory of the Material*
That Are Uted In Turning Out Mod
ern Footgear le Like Taking a Lee
eon In Commeroial Geography.
What's In a shoe?
Take a factory tag that tells how •
shoe Is made. Count on It sixty differ
ent Items of material; also different
Items of labor. That shows many of
the things In a case. And there may
be others.
Whence come the materials? When
you look at a shoe you see the four cor
ners of the globe pulled together in it
Begin with the bottom, or sole, made
from the hide of a Texas steer, tanned
In oak from Pennsylvania forests. And
the heel Is of South American dry hide,
tanned In hemlock bark.
It's a kldskln shoe you hare? It
looks it, although one never can tall
for sure these days. The vamp is made
of a goat of Brazil. It Is tanned with
chrome from New Caledonia, Is black
ed with logwood from Jamaica and Is
glazed with glass from Austria.
The top Is of a kid skin tanned In Ni
geria, brought to Massachusetts and
there retanned and finished. The tongue
is of sheep leather. The sheep grew in
Argentine. The leather linings are of
b kin a of sheep that grew in Australia.
The skins were tanned in sumac from
Sicily.
Some of the leather is treated with
"fat liquor," an emulsion made of cod
oil from I-abrador and acids from one
of the new American chemical labora
tories.
let only a few of the things that the
tanner used In making the sho« hare
been mentioned. He also uses ha his
mystery of tunning "dlvl-dlvi" from
the East Indies, valonla from Turkey,
myrobolans from India and algarobilla
from the 'and knows where, salt from
Michigan, sawdust from Maine mills,
egg yolk from Russia, blood from Chi
cago and degras from France—and a
few other tilings from a few other coun
tries besides.
If there's any fellow under tha sun,
from an Eskimo to a Patagonlon or
from a Hottentot to a Korean, who has
a hide or skin to sell, he can get bis
i price for it if he will show it to a Yan
I kee tanner, for the Yankee tanner is
buying ]K.'lts everywhere.
j The leather of which the shoe is made
j is fastened together with thread of Irish
{linen or Georgia cotton. The lacings are
of Egyptian or long fiber Sea island
cotton, tough and strong. The buttons
are of bone, pearl or paper, American
or Europeuu. The eyelets are of brass,
coated with celluloid.
The tacks are niado by the million In
Massachusetts of steel. The same is
true of the heel nails and of the shanks
In the arches of the shoe. If a person
prefers wood pegs that won't scratch
hardwood floors in the heels of his
shoes he may get them at a New
Hampshire shop.
The welt may be of pigskin. The pig
was killed in Packingtown, and his pelt
was tanned In Massachusetts. His
bristles were saved and made Into
I brushes for cleaning the shoe.
Between the outsole and the Insole
J of the shoe Is the "filler," a compoai
I tlon of rubber from Ceylon cut with
naphtha and mixed wltb ground cork
| from Portugal.
X110 reit 18 mauo iroui wasie nuvicu,
perhaps old coats. The shellac Is from
the lac tree of India, and the leather
board is made down In Maine of shred
ded leather, hemp and Jute from India
and other things.
Yet a few more things are uaed In
the making of a shoe. The last, over
which the shoe Is fashioned, Is of ma
ple from Michigan. The patterns, by
which the uppers are cut, are of paper
board, made from old newspapers.
They are bound with brass. The
brass Is stripped from them after they
become obsolete, and It Is used for
brailng the steel dies with which leath
er Is cut for several parts of the shoe.
The brazing Is done in an electric flame
or In a fire of Pennsylvania coal.
The snowy white lining Is made from
cotton of Dixie land. The top facing
la of silk made in New Jersey mills,
and the gold leaf on it may be truly a
product of El Dorado.
The edges of the heels and soles aro
burnished with wax, which comes from
Brazil, and the shoes ure blacked with
a blacking of which wax Is a chief part
There are forty-seven other things In
• shoe. But enough already has been
told. What does a fellow expect these
days of high prices'/ Enough already
has been said to make a lesson in
commercial geography incorporating
the four comers of the globe, as well
as a few things above and a few things
below the globe, and It's all for the
price of one pair of shoes.—Salem News.
Remember This.
