Synopsis

This is a vintage textbook on shoemaking originally designed for industrial, trade, and commercial schools in the early twentieth century. From tanning hides to boot repair, this comprehensive volume contains a wealth of timeless information that will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in leather boot and shoe manufacturing. A Manual of Shoemaking and Leather and Rubber Products is written in clear, simple language, making it ideal for modern readers looking for an introduction to the subject. Contents include: "Fundamental Shoe Terms", "Hides and Their Treatment", "Processes of Tanning", "The Anatomy of the Foot", "How Shoe Styles Are Made", "Departments of a Shoe Factory", "McKay an Turned Shoes", "Old-fashioned Shoemaking and Repairing", "Leather and Shoemaking Terms", "Leather Products Manufacture", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
