SHODDY FOOTWEAR.
o METHODS OF INSPECTION. "' The endeavour which Is being made in , : -. Ne"- Zealand to stamp out shoddy foot- ;,; wear by the enforcement of the 1915 Amendment of the Footwear Regulation, : ,.| I Act has drawn the attention of a London -' . trade journal, which says: "Wo wish our * New Zealand friends all the best luck;, possible, but what wo should like to know is where the inspection takes place—inside | ,-. the factories while the shoes are being , ' produced,- or in the warehouses and shops, J,, ) where boots would be broken up to sea 3 what they were composed of. W'lik the ' , term. 'all leather is a most fascinating' one as far as the leather trade is con- • 8 cero?d, it must not be forgotten as con- " ceivable that there are certain low and '• spongy grades of leather worse than highly : e compressed and waterproof pasteboard. fj An all-leather pump, or turn shoe, with a big heel, is not the most desirable thing J in the. world. The main point which the ~ „ chief inspector of footwear has to keep in • ° mind is whether the use of a substitute in a. shoe or slipper is intended to deceits ,i or to defraud." s »- i
