Ames Holden cCready are truly "Shoemakers to the Nation." Its a title justified by "their size and the importance of their business. It may be a revelation to many Canadians to know that to supply them with proper footwear, this firm maintains huge factories each with many acres of floor space, and hun- dreds of intricate, almost human, ma- chines--facilities and equipment suffi- cient to turn out 8,000 pairs of shoes every working day. It requires a small army of work- people, clerks and warehousemen, in addition to executives, buyers and travellers, It requires much study and thought "to plan styles and models of Men's, Women's and Children's shoes in their various grades and styles. In order to secure the best results in the production of various kinds and grades, it is also necessary to specialize. For example: Ames Holden . McCready factories are separated into three distinct factory units, each a complete factory in itself. One unit of our factories is devoted entirely to the manufacture" of high grade footwear for Women and Chil- dren, Consider the great variety' of styles in women's footwear, including high-top boots, oxfords and pumps. Consider the many different patterns and lasts, the varieties and shades of leather and finish--then you will see what a great number of mbdels are required to meet the widely different needs of Canadian women in the cities and towns and also in the country districts. Another factory unit is devoted to making only the better grades and styles of Men's Shoes--shoes for pro- fessional men, lawyers, doctors, and all business men, whose occupations permit the use of fine leathers such as calf and kid. = The third unit specif in stur- dier types of shoes for heavy wear and rough usage. Shoes for farmers, lumbermen, miners, trainmen, and workpeople who require a heavier and more solidly-constructed boot. find, even in the outlying In addition to the work of manufac- ture--the requirements of distribution are also tremendous, A manufacturer must not only make his goods econo- mically and well--but he must deliver them--DISTRIBUTE them. There- fore, in addition to a force of 60 travel: lers constantly visiting the retail trade from coast to coast, Ames Holden McCready maintain, in the centres of population throughout Canada, im- mense stocks of boots and shoes ready for immediate shipment to the retailers in each section. - These warehouses are located in the following cities: St.John Toronto Montreal Winnipeg Edmonton Vancouver Years of experience has taught us the kind 4nd styles of boots which are required in each locality.
