The buying of a single pair of shoes is an event that occupies a person but a few moments two or three times a year--but to meet the accumulated demand of @ nation's individuals, it requires the whole resources of a genic industry. Ames Holden IcCready are truly "Shoemakers to the Nation." It is a title justified by their size and the importance of their business. It may bé 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, « ~ - Te 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. mark an end utmost in value, style For example; Ames Holden' McCready factories are separated into thtee distinct factory units, each a complete factory in itself, One unit of our factories is devoted entirely to the manufacture of high rade | Revatlaian for Women and Chil- tran, Consider the great variety of styles in women's footwear, inclu ing high-top boots, oxfords and pumps.

They feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet-- Sonsequently, to have lightly esteem- ed John was to bring upon them the popuigr indignation.
