The old and : slpw plan of making holes by ,an awl for ; , pegs or rivets, has -here given way to ,a, process by whic^all ...the,',' peg or rivet, holesneeded in, say, a sole pri top piece, are ; made in a, twinkling, . and withi beautiful regularity . Haying, referred to, the soles, and .heels, we, will now turn to the uppers. Messrs i Tyrep Brothers believe that, in the matter of, boots.; of superipr ;; . make, and in ; the. uppers of . wbich there is muca t fine, work, they , can, turn, out an article, of a quality which cannot be ; approached by any imported. Furthermore, that, while able to prod\ice a better, article^, they will .sell it at "the same price as the : imported, one j and on this fact, they : look. forward to .making a business. In. the'imported uppers of the better de-; scriptions the, leather after. the voyage, is hard, and the cloth r lining becomes ; yellQjv and faded, hut if the leather is ' not worked up till after it has , arrived it, remains soft, and the lining put in here has a, fresh appearance,; and not the |f aderj. look ,to jbe . seen, in s t|ie : imported article. .Messrs Tyree for this reason, an*; jtipißate that they -will fio\ v a -large tradeip women's and. children's boots of a superior description. The, uppers,, after, being cut put, fry ; tlie ff: clicker " are subjected to d, process . which, gives .therp., "the proper r; sjiape j^andUf elastic sjdes -j ;are to be, put arp handed to a £ piaphinist, .and eppae bafck tp the .^ clicker " . ..two or; thrpe, times, before, he. ;is finally dpne with them, ; The .spies,, hpels.. and uppers next go ,to iihet;riyotter„ who *■• lasts "ihis upper on ap iron last which is "firmly, lcept. in. position, on £,post a litt(e. j; higher ; than .the,..beueh.'l)eforewhicji he^ stands.
