He reports a very interesting and enjoyable time and listened to speeches by some of the leading shoe men from Boston, Chicago, and other large manufacturing cities, on topics ranging from ‘The shoe man as a factor in the higli cost of living,” down to the “Baby Doll Boot,” and the “Kidney Heel.” The meeting ended Wednesday evening by a banquet and vaudeville entertainment at the Dennison lioti}!, attended by 250 -enthusiastic shoo men.
