Chicago. Dec. 2 The offer of the
Pullman company to reduce the rates
charged for upper berths in slopp
ing curs -0 per cent where lower
berths were priced more than $1.50
to make tho price of upper berths
$1.23 as a minimum and reduce some
Ijwer berth rates Is opposed before
the Interstate commerce commission
here by attorneys general of four
states and by two railroads. The
Pullman company's offer left unchang-
ed Pullman seat rates and wai-i to be-
come effective on approval and accept
ance by the commission.
Opposition to the plan was offered
on the part of tho railroads hii the
allegation that they would have to
stand a part of the brunt of the less-
ened prices and bv the. attorneys gen
eral on the claim that the reduction
i was not sufficient.
"I don't think the 2 Oper ceir.t re-
duction represents the difference in
service value of an upper and lower
berth." said Attorney James Bingham
of Indiana.
We;t Oppose It.
"It is not enough. I stanl on our
petition" said Attorney General John
L'awson of Kansas.
"Hi re too" agreed Attorney' Gen-
eral Luther Walters representing At-
torney General Norwood of Arkans-
as. -
"It is not at all satisfactory" con-
rludi'.i Attorney dent-rat Charles West
of Oklahoma.
i Commissioners Franklin Lane and
M. K. Clark therefore were couilront-
ed with a iioffer ot voluntary reduc-
tion of rates for upper (also a num-
ber of nuiti rial reductions on lower
berth tales) ...ch tin railroads said
were too much and tho state offi-
cials called too small. The whole
matter came up on a combining of

A shoemaker vtj in New York State by the name of George V. Johnson learned his
trade at the bench. ' ':i ' ..i
. ' .. i
Over in Massachusetts a young man jl!. I'. Endicott.' who1 had won his way by hard
knocks became a leather; expert and later a lea tlier merchant at Boston.
In 1891 these two men got together. One was an expert in shoes; the other an expert in
leather. No two men ever knew their subjects better.
State.
They formed a partnership. They built a shoe factory in Broome County New York
They made good shoes and they did well. They were up in the country with no big' city
rents or high operating expenses. They were plain people themselves and the money saved in
expenses was put into the quality of their shoes.
Everything went well until along in ift) when certain interests began quietly to buy
up tanneries in all parts of the country. T
-One tannery after another 'was either closed---or- taken over and operated by the
combination until like evcrv other
awoke one dav to find themselves
let- shoe concern in the United States;' Kndieott. Johnson & Co.
s in the grip of. the heather Trust.' '"' ' ' -' " '
The price of leather went tip. Kndieott. Johnson & Co. were no worse off than 'all other :
shoe nranufacturers and they paid the advance. . .
- Then they noticed that the leather was not as good as thev would like to see it. Tint
touched them on a sensitive sjot. . ' j' f'' ); f: :
They had stood for the higlr price. ' When it came to starving . the quaiity of the
leather they rebelled. . . ''' " "
Sole leather is sold by weight. and Viiegan 'to ' jook like soniel)V)(!y ' was loiidiiig the '
leather with chemicals instead of feeding it in t lie tanning and finishing process.
Inside of thirty days Kndieott. Johnson & Co. decided to build their own tanneries.
The Trade said they were crazy. It was an unheard-of thing a shoe concern tanning
its own leather a .stupendous undertaking; it meant hundreds of thousands of dollars and almost
insurmountable difficulties.
It's a long story the story of those tan
of tan-vats. But they were built and success fu
Today Kndieott Johnson & Co. are in-
dependent of all Trusts. They are the only '
shoe people in the United States that do not
pay tribute to the leather combination.
They buy the raw hides in the open markets
of the world and tan every foot and pound of
leather they use. This not only means a big
saving in cost and better tannage bul it means
tanning every lot of leather with an eve to the
particular shoe that is to be made from it a
great advantage in the working quality of the
stock andihe wear of the shoes.
Endicott-Johnson Co. have developed proc-
esses that double the life of some leathers.
They tan' 1000 skins of calf leather every
day.
They tan nearly 2000 sides of the finest
upper leather and 1200 sides of sole leather
every day.
Last year nearly 30000 shoe stores sold
the product of the Endicott-Johnson Co. fac-
tories which is the largest output of any in-
dividual concern.
A beautiful town has grown up around this
enterprise the town' of Kndieott New York
where five thousand . people depend for
their livelihood upon the Endicott-Johnson
factories and tanneries.
Established in their tanneries Endicott
Johnson & Co. save the wearer three profits on
the leather in his shoes the Hide dealer's
profit the Tanner's profit and the Leather-
jobber's profit.
Their last saving to the wearer was to cut
out the profit of the wholesale shoe house and
sell their shoes direct to the retail store in
every town.
The leather in Endicott-Johnson shoes will
wear as leather used to wear twenty years ago
in the days of honest tanning.
Endicott-Johnson make shoes for the work-
inginan and dress shoes as fine as any man
wants to wear. They sell school shoes and
shoes for women. And because they have cut
out four profits between the Tanner and the
shoe store they can save the wearer from- 50c
to Si. 00 on every pair and give him a leather
that simply cannot be bad in any other shoe.
Now the reader will naturallv sav. "Why
doesn't everybody wear Endicott-Johnson
shoes and why doesn't every shoe store sell
them?"'
neries with literally miles of masonry and acres
lllv operated.
Everybody docs want to wear Endicott-
Johnson. shoes as soon. as. they know about
them and nearly 30000 stores are selling the
goods. ; :-'''......
Some dealers are not as quick as others to'
fall into line. ' '
A retail shoe dealer has his friends and Ids
old business associates from whom he has
been buying gmkls'foryears':
lie has a store full of other shoes perhaps
ami he doesn't like to break into his lines
with another make.
- Sometimes 'a shoe dealer likes to have his
own name on every pair of shoes and keep
the wearer from knowing where they are
made. This enables him to keep the matter
of profit entirely in his own hands.
It is not always the shoe dealer's fault.
Some larjre wholesale shoe houses pay expert
salesmen $10000 to $15000 a year just be-
cause of their ability to go out and sell the
retail shoe dealer and keep him satisfied.
Endicott Johnson & Co. do not employ
fancy talent on their selling for:c; and they
are somewhat particular as to the kind of
dealer that sells their shoes
After they have worked so hard to reduce
the cost of shoes to the wearer and cut out
the four intervening profits they want to do
business with the shoe dealer who is willing
to sell their goods at a fair living profit a
dealer who would rather make his money by a
small margin on many sales than a big profit
on a few sales
The selection of the right dealers to handle
the Endicott-Johnson line is a problem just
. as was the building of the''" tanneries and the
getting rid of the shoe joMier.
Endicott. Johnson & Co. can sell all the
shoes they make each vcar. But their busi-
ness is growing every year and the future of
their Jmsiness depends upon the service they
render to the wearer.
Now as a buyer and wearer of shoes every
reader' of this paper has a right to vote on
this question of buying shoes independent of
all trusts. ; --
Are you content to go on paying four
profits on every pair of shoes you buy ?
Are you satisfied to' pay tribute to the hide
trut. the leather trust the leather jobber and
the shoe jobber and about how long do you
think you are going to submit to it?
