Production of boots and shoes is estimated by Standard Statistics Co. to have set a second of about 417.- 000,000 pairs compared with the previous record of 415,227,000 pairs in 1936. Profits, however, were curtailed by | small spread between costs and sell- | nig prices. The war cut profit mar- gins still further as hides advanced 60 per cent in the first five weeks | of the war, while the price of shoes was increased only 10 to 15 per cent. —ll——— Emphe Wans Ads Bring Results. | V. velt le in exile is owned by the the chateau v Jan. 3,1939 Year End | U.
