1. HOW TO MAKE A SHOE. 132 pages 1882
UNIVERSITY JNO. P. HEADLEY, JR.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1882, by
JNO. P. HEADLEY, Jr.,
in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.
Shoemakers are known both far and wide, As men who always cut up side Horse sometimes, also cow leather.
To meet the changes in the weather Sheep and goats are often slain; Both unite to make it plain That sheep is used for lining nice,
When goat alone would not suffice ; Just so with calf as well as kid. Some use these linen-lined,
And think it quite the best, for those who feel themselves refined.
Refined or not, we think it true Our feet need some protection ; To do whate'er they have to do, We make our own selection.
Select at all times the best we can, Both of shoemakers as well as shoes, This is much the better plan, And learns us how to choose.
INTRODUCTION.
The Author of the book in hand, having passed through the various scenes through which he would accompany his readers, was
prompted to make this offering to the craft and the public in order to relieve his mind of the thoughts had upon the subject of making
shoes, as well as to contribute something of a literary character which, in the broad range of possibilities, may become useful as a text-book,
or family-book, for those who may feel interested in making or wearing shoes, and perhaps lead to something better. Realizing the imperfections
and shortcomings of the human family, to some extent at least, no claim beyond that which you-are disposed to put upon it is
held, so that any communication will be gladly received and noted. This opportunity is also taken to express thanks for some valuable suggestions
from the U. S. Bureau of Education, and others, concerning the publication of this little volume, and in its present shape you are
invited to read and make the best use of it you can.

2. A MODERN TREATISE on BOOT & SHOE MANUFACTURE BY F. Y. GOLDING (1902) 324 pages
The manufacture of boots and shoes : being a modern treatise of all the processes of making and manufacturing footgear (1902)
THE aim of the Author in writing this treatise has been to produce a text-book useful to students attendingtechnological classes, so that they may be enabled to supplement their knowledge gained in the classroom, and thus assist the instructor to cover a larger field than is possible under ordinary circumstances. It will also serve, it is hoped, as a handbook to some instructors by suggesting matter for teaching and demonstration
in their classes.

DESIGNING. CUTTING AND GRADING BOOT AND SHOE PATTERNS
AND COMPLETE MANUAL FOR
THE STITCHING ROOM,
BY AN EXPERT OF THIRTY YEARS.
THOROUGHLY ILLUSTRATED.
INTRODUCTION.
It is my purpose to write of and fully illustrate the art of designing and cutting boot and shoe patterns so that uppers cut therefrom may fit the lasts perfectly. I shall constantly keep in mind the operations to be performed on the uppers in the fitting room, in the lasting room, and in all other departments of the factory. My constant aim will be to economize stock in the cutting room, to save time and labor in the fitting room, and to produce patterns from
which, with our modern factory methods, may be made shoes that fit well, look well, and are full of that more or
less definite something which we call "style."

4. EFFECTS OF GLUCOSE AND SALTS ON THE WEARING QUALITY OF SOLE LEATHER (1919) 52 pages
The question as to what constitutes the best wearing sole leather is one which vitally affects nearly ever}^ individual in the country.
The extent of production of leather for shoe soles in this country alone is clearly indicated by the fact that in normal times the
hides of 9 000 000 cattle are tanned and finished annually for this purpose.

LARGE quantities of Boots are yearly sold for the Walker Boot. which are not manufactured by us. As many of them are made of Shoddy
and infeiior stock, we have patented the above Trade Mark, for the protection of ourselves and customers.
The genuine •" Walker Boot" has the above ''trade mark" stamped upon the bottom. We claim that we have the best facilities for
manufacturing Leather, and also the best facilities for manufacturing Boots that exist in the country.

6. Shoe and Leather encyclopedia; (1911) 132 pages
INTRODUCTION
'THE retail shoe merchant who reads a copy of this booklet will realize how much solid information every chapter contains.
The keen rivalry seen on every hand in the merchandise world to-day clearly demonstrates the fact that the merchant who will succeed must take advantage of every help that comes his way. Store methods which were successful a score of years ago find no place in the store of today, and the merchant
who enjoys the trade in his community must keep in constant touch with the wishes and suggestions of his patrons.
