Nation's Shoe Bill
Exceeds $4 Billion
In 1956 the nation's shoe bill
exceeded $4 billion, V. Aubrey
Norris, member of the Medford
firm of Norfield Shoe company,
told members of the Medford
Rotary Tuesday.
Speaking al; a luncheon meet
ing at the Jackson hotel, Morris
pointed out that 40 per cent of
the world's production of leath
er footwear was absorbed in the
U. S. market. In 1955 the Ameri
can market bought 577 million
pairs of shoes and 54 million
pairs of rubber footwear.
Shoes were discovered in the
ancient Egyptian tombs four
thousand years ago, the speaker
said. Until 1850 they were made
with hand tools, and it was the
invention of the sewing machine
that helped the shoe manufactur
ing industry to emerge as a line
production item. Today shoe
making is an exact science, lasts
and styles have multiplied, and
the training of store personnel
vastly improved.
Norris' brief address was fol
lowed by a motion picture film
showing the manufacturing tech
niques of America's shoe industry.
