WHERE DO THE HIDES GO? 



Did you ever stop to thing what becomes of all the 

 hides of the steers, cows, sheep, etc., and what final disposi- 

 tion is made of them? We know that most of them are 

 made up into shoes, and you may at the present moment 

 be wearing a pair of shoes made up from the hide of your 

 prize steer, but few of us have any idea in what quantity 

 these hides are consumed by just one single institution. 



The following interesting figures showing the consump- 

 tion of hides in only one large shoe factory were submitted 

 by the F. Mayor Boot & Shoe Co., manufacturers of the 

 well-known Mayer Honorbilt Shoes. These figures cover 

 one year's operation in the big Mayer shoe factory at Mil- 

 waukee. 



Total number of hides consumed last year, 382,573. 

 These are divided as follows : 55,447 steer, 28,676 cows, 

 51,602 calves, 62,160 sheep, 2,320 horses, 1,360 kangaroo, 181,- 

 008 goats. 



All these animals placed in a single file would make an 

 unbroken line reaching from Chicago to Detroit. The re-
