Uppers

Excerpt from Uppers: Leather and Findings We think the custom shoe trade will appreciate the reduction we have just made. Nothing but prompt payment will justify us in selling at such prices. When you get orders for custom work, send to us for the uppers, according to directions in our book. Mention whether to ship by Mail or Express. Buy a Postal Order at your nearest post-office. It costs 10 cents. For sending $15 or less amount, and 25 cents for a $50 order on New York. Thousands of shoemakers send all their measures to New York and receive them by mail. We send upper and small findings every day to Nevada, Oregon, Florida, Texas, Maine, also to the far-off shores of New Jersey. Many of the smaller articles of findings you can receive by mail to advantage if you are in the interior States or Territories. Shoe thread, awls, bristles, silk, machine thread, welts, etc., can go by mail. Send the money or post-office orders, including postage, 1 cent per ounce. Please do not send $1 or $2 checks on interior banks. For such small amounts inclose the money or post-office order. Banks here charge for collection. Checks for $5 or over are a pleasure to the receiver. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
