Boston Manufactures Boots and Shoes Drive New England Trade
Speech outlines Boston's boot and shoe industry scale with 60,000 workers and vast collateral in leather and tanning. Notes shipments rising 1860–1880 and claims Boston firms now lead sole leather tanning with 23 tanneries producing about 1.5 million leather sides annually. Also praises Boston capitalists for railroad and mining ventures and cites Gen Sherman and Oakes Ames.
