X 2314 MODERN BOOT-MAKING , MACHINERY. rpHE advancement made in machinery for 'X- warfare and manufacturing purposes has, ■ within the' last few years, made most, rapid strides, .and this improvement is more remarkable in the machinery used in the boot ttraftf. It is very interesting -to 'note, the inventions that have been made in this particular line, as they have been made to'lessen labour and cheapen the prices of boots and .shoes,, for when the boots are first started to be made they hardly leave the machine till -nicy are 'turned.out fit to bo worn. What a contrast to the old style, when it took a man almost a day to complete a single pair, which can now be done in a few minutes. .The sewing machines are driven by power, the old treadle system being a thing of the past, and .one stitch to five hundred per minute can be .put in by merely touching a lever. The eyelits are put in as fast as one can count them, •and another machine can fasten one dozen buttons before one could thread a needle. The Soles are cut out by two machines. One forces: a large steel die through the sole in- , stantaueously to any shape or size required; the other has a travelling knife, which runs round tho pattern at tv moat rapid' speed. A Very complicated machine, is used for fastening the uppers to the inner soles. It pulls -the upper over the last to the place required and at the same time drives the tacks into the soles, thus securely fastening the upper to the inner sole. Capability, 3000 pairs per week. The soles are sewn on, by, another machine in a few seconds, or,; if to be riveted, they are sent to a different machine, which .drives brass or iron rivets any size, at the rata of two hundred per minute. The heel* axe put on by a most powerful machine, as by one stroke tho heel is securely nailed with as many nails as may be required Capability, 1000 per day. . The boot is then passed to another wonderful machine, which makes its own nails from a coil of wire, to any length or shape required, and the nails are shot into tne bee's or .soles as rapid as a quick-firm" gun. Capability, 2000 pairs per day. >l{ jt is a, heavy boot, it is sent to ,the.,hoshailing machine. Which ;dn+es the nails at the rate of two hundred-’Shct fifty-*per minute The* boot is now made, and ready for the finishing department. ■ The heel-trimming machine' which has revolving knives, travelling at a terrific rate, trims the heels nice and-smooth in a few seconds. Capability, 500 per day. Another machine, also having travelling knives for trimming, tho edges of tho soles .anrt making tftem ready for polishing; capability, 500 pairs per day. The heels and edge* .are then stained black or tan, and passed to several machines for polishing. The boot is now practically .finished, with the exception of the soles, which are sand-papered, cleaned and polished off. One would naturally all tnese machines, planing, sand-papering etc., would cause a deal of dust, but this is all carried off iu pipes fixed, to each machine - which empty themselves’ into one large pipe' or tank, and earned by a strong current of air into the furnace. One can now se e that the labour on a pair of boots is reduced to a mere fraction compared to the old qystem, as they are made more solid and better finished. The well-known firm of Maine Bros., High Street, Christchurch, have imported from America and England all tho foregoing up. tomato machinery, and. have again reduced the , prices of their boots and shoes. People buying from them buy at the manufacturers’ prices, ‘ no two or three getting a profit. Call and see the goods before buying elsewhere. AH made on the most modern and fashionable American lasts. .TAT"HAT a pity to have rough hands when a fVV shilling jar of WILTON’S HAND EMOLLIENT will make them soft and-beanti--ful. The following are from,;the numerous testimonials which have been received: —‘It 'beautifies the hands." “ I always use it after washing.” “It is the best thing I have ever tried." “It cured a bad case of chapped hands in one night."
