feel that when the war is over the leather poverty of the central nations will precipitate a buying movement that may sweep sole leather to a still higher price level. The largest tanneries for sole leather in the world outside the United States are in Germany and the next largest in Austria. These are the sole leather suppliers of Kurope. They are today hone-dry so far as sole leather is concerned. There is no surplus. In Germany military permission is necessary in order to buy a pair of shoes.With leather at current and prospective prices, it is of course a question if the world is not facing a problem of finding a substitute for sole leather. This is the only serious menace to the continued prosperity of Central Leather for some years to come.WE NEVER FORGETGovernment is not reason, it is not eloquence- it is force!
