Takes Exception to Prediction that Prices Aire on the Down ; Grade "Prices of shoes are going up," says S. Pool, north shore shoe man. iu] know it was reported some time ago that McElwain, the big shoe manufacturer, said the prices would come down, but the prices are going up, I'm sure," declared Mr. Pool. "There's nothing else in sight that I can see." "Manufacturers are all oversold. Many of them have taken their salesmen in because they cannot fill orders. There are a great many re- tailers who have not nearly a com- plete stock. Endicott-Johnson, whose production is between 90,000 and 100,- 000 pairs of shoes a day, have their entire output sold and are building another plant to increase their pro- duction by 30,000 pairs a day. One Salesman Takes place of 20 "Today, one salesman, for one company visits all the big middle- western cities and gets all the orders his house can fill. Formerly, twenty men were sent out in this territory. Retailers not only haven't complete stocks now, but they are going to have a hard time getting shoes," says Mr. Pool.

Winnetka 1300 European nations, with their men killed off and business disorganized are not on their feet to take care of their own shoe needs, and will buy all the shoes that we can send them. "Just as an example--an Evanston man and his wife, who just came back from Belgium in the fall, told me of a shoe store that the Walk- over people opened in Brussels. A complete stock of goods had been put in, but the entire stock was sold out by noon of the day the store opened. Soldiers had to be station- ed about the store to keep out the crowds. The people were wiiling to pay any price. Prices Abroad "We talk about the high prices of shoes over here, but in Europe the pair. I think there isn't going to be any lowering of prices this spring, because there has been little reduc- tion in the price of leather, and labor is constantly demanding greater wages. . "I think that things will go on as they are until the factories get over- loaded and quit, and then take the men back at the factories' own price." Mr. Pool criticized the recommend- ation of Attorney General Palmer that shoe dealers limit themselves to 33 1-3 per cent profit. "I can sell for $4.50 a pair of shoes that I buy for $3 and make a profit, but the stores in the loop, with their great overhead expense, can't do it," he says, About 300 dealers, says Mr. Pool, | attended the shoe convention in| Chicago. He predicted that the French style shoe, with the short last which he said manufacturers are try- Ing to popularize, will prove a fail-, ure. ! _ "Retailers will have to put them in, of course," he says, "at least all those who cater to the class of people who fall for the new things." What Trade Journal Says Concerning the recommendations of the attorney general ,the Shoe Re- tailer, a trade journal, has the fol- rowing to say in an editorial: "Now, getting down to brass tacks, to analyze the recommendations of | these fair price commissions, and to find out just how just, how drastic | and how far the regulators of prices and the enforcers of law expect to jump, consider the following--the marking of the manufacturer's price to the merchant on all articles of wearing apparel, such as clothing, shoes, etc., and the establishing of a retailer's maximum gross profit of approximately 33 1-3 per cent. These two ideas are not dreams; they have taken definite form and purpose to such an extent that connections at Washington have been advised to bring them before congress as amendments to the lever act. ~ "Considering this, it is of utmost importance that retailers in all parts of the country view these matters in all seriousness. Many retailers, sell- ing the better grade of merchandise, and occupying choice locations in | cessary to charge as much as 40 per perance Union thought of Miss Brag- cent for overhead." don whose experience fitted her so admirably to fill Mrs. Chez's posi- tion.
