A shoe salesman passed
through last week, and he says
that footwear is footwear these
days, and that prices are going
still higher. The source of sup
ply Is South America, largely,
and he stales that the European
war has meant the purchase of
much shoe leather the past three
years. He does not look for
leather to fall in price until the
cessation of hostilities -and then
not for some time. He says
there are many substitutes, and
manufacturers are going to find
something else than leather for
tops of shoes -and as for the
hightopped Texan boots -those
luxuries are things of the past.
