Excerpt from The Shoe and Leather Journal, 1918, Vol. 31 These tremendous advances have caused much concern to manufacturers and have robbed them of whatever profit they did make in-the production of these goods To show that this advance is general and that the furniture industry is only experiencing its share of the general movement the following list is prepared showing the index numbers of prices of commodities in Canada and United States. These index numbers in nearly all cases are based on the average prices from 1890 to 1899, some of these dealing with all commodities and others, such as the Annalist and Gibson numbers, being for foods.

Excerpt from A Short Treatise on Boots and Shoes, Ancient and Modern S far back as we can trace the early history of man, under civilized conditions of life, we find that shoes of some kind have been worn. At first they were very crude and simple, being noth ing more than soles fastened to the foot by means of thongs or straps, which passed between the toes and around the ankle, like Figs. 3. Shoes of this de scription were called sandals, and were worn by the an cient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. It has been discovered, by means of paintings on the walls of Thebes, that shoemaking formed a distinct and quite lucrative trade away back in the reign of Thoth mes III., some fifteen hundred years 'before Christ, so that followers of the awl and last can truthfully boast of the great antiquity of their profession.

Excerpt from The Shoe and Leather Journal, Vol. 32: January-June 1919 And, don't you overlook this fact; there are a great number of these men going on to the land. Let me tell you of one case. We had a young salesman who went overseas. It was his intention, before going, to go in with his father in the repair business. He came into the store recently to see us. I asked him if he was coming back to us or going with his father. He replied he did not think he could be contented inside any more. We asked why, and he replied that he had been out-doors for three years and he could not be contented inside, so would take up land. It was immediately after the American war that the great west of the United States began to be peopled. Thousands of people went on to the land after that war and it is only reasonable to expect that the same will be the result after this war.
