Book Description

Excerpt from The Shoe and Leather Journal, Vol. 33: January-June, 1920 The number of times is immaterial. The important consideration in the matter is to be ready to open the door and take advantage of the situation. At the present moment opportunity is knocking more noisily, more insistently than it has ever done in the past, at the door of the Canadian shoe manufacturers to increase the production and sale of made IN canada shoes. The adverse exchange situation with the United States is the reason for the unusual possibilities in this respect. This exchange rate, which is ranging from eight to twelve per cent., offers just that amount of additional protection to Canadian manufacturers to combat the importation of goods manufactured in foreign countries. It acts as an additional tariff on the importation of shoes from United States, and as is always the result, the ultimate consumer, the public, pays the increased tariff.
