BOOTS HAV HAD THilR DAY. lha Trade fiadlr Affected by the lacreaac Wear or Bhoea. Tho diminished nsoof boots is a mat ter of concern to the manufacturers ox them and to the producers of heavy leather mid heavy calfskins. Twenty years ngo tho calf boot industry waa a leading one in New England. Whole towns were studded with fao iorics which produced calf boots excltt tively. For a decade the sale has been gradually falling off, and today it Is of hardly any importance. A few manufacturers of shoes include boots as a specialty, but tho demand is too light to amount to much. When calf boots wcro moro In vogue, mnnn facturers consulted tho partialities ol the cowboys, to whom price was a sec ondary cotihideration. The legs were frequently corded wttn silk ttitching. Tho star aud crescent aad other fanciful ornamentations were inlaid on the legs of the boots. The soles were inlaid with copper, eino and brass nails. Tbe cowboys no longer pay $15 or $20 for a pair of boots. They want substanco instead of show. Bi they were not tho only wearers of call boots. They were extensively worn. Many men prefer them today, thongb tbe number is growing lens. Tbe old fashioned Btoga boots were formerly aold in largo quantities. They are well nigh obsolete. There followed a demand for a lighter and more stylish article. A kip boot of lighter texture was pro duced, about equal in appearance to the best calf boot, bnt this, too. has fallen somewhat into disuse. Where there were 20 factories producing boots ex clnsively, there fs now bnt one. Even the farmers are using heavy Bhoes in stead of boots, and if it becomes a ne cessity to wear long legged boots they buy rubbers. Twenty years ngo the entire product of Salem and Peabody was heavy boots and brogan leather. Today thero are less than half a dozen tanners making it Brogans and plowshares are indis- oensable in many sections of country, but thero aro comparatively few exclu sive manufacturers of these now. The Creedmore, Dom Pedro, English ties find Creole congress nre supplanting thorn. The decline in tho consumption of calf boots affects the tanners of calf skins. It is a question what is to be done with heavy skins. The tanners must necessarily buy more or less of them. They cannot select light and me dium weights cxlusivcly, and if they tan them they foel no oertaiuty or be ing able to dipposo of them in the fin ished state, Thero is nevertheless a use in thia world for whatever is good for anything, and there will be some way of disposing of heavy calfskins, though for tho moment it appears difficult to point out tho direction into which they will bo moved.
