BROTHERHOOD MEETING 
Unrtep SHOE MACHINERY Co. LEG 
TURER TELLS OF THE DEVELOP- 
MENT OF THE SHOE. 
There was a large attendance at 
the Brotherhood meeting in the Bapt- 
ist vestry, Manchester, on Monday 
evening when Walter Measday of the 
publicity bureau of the United Shoe 
Machinery Co., delivered his illus- 
trated lecture on “The Romance of 
the Shoe.” The meeting started 
later than usual on account of the 
Town meeting the same evening. In 
his introductory remarks Mr. Meas- 
day said that the history of the de- 
velopment of the shoe began long be- 
fore the beginning of written history. 
The date the first shoe was made was 
probably synchronous with the date 
the first fire was kindled, he said. 
“The first written word about the 
shoe occurs in the Bible,” said the 
speaker, “and the first writer about 
shoes was Moses. Before that time 
pictures of shoemakers at*work were 
made by primitive peoples and have 
been discovered by archeologists. The 
shoe was originally a symbol of coi- 
quest.” 
Mr. Measday explained the cu.- 
toms of the people of the orient.l 
countries regarding the shoe. In 
some of the ancient countries the 
man presented his betrothed with a 
pair of shoes instead of a ring. One 
ancient custom was for the man t9 
take off one of his heavy shoes and 
to tap his fiancee on the head with it 
in token of his authority. Mr. Meas-

day said that the shoes of the ancient — 
Jews resembled very closely many of 
our present models. ~They had a 
heavy re-inforced shoe, which their 
men wore to war, and which was very 
similar to the army shoe worn 10 
Europe today. 
“In the ancient day styles of foot- 
wear changed just as they do today 
only, fortunately, the fashions did 
not change so rapidly,” Mr. Measday 
said. The Jews were the first shoe- 
makers in Egypt, where the people 
were not meat-eaters and consequent- 
ly did not have the leather to use. He 
told of the development of the pre- 
sent day shoe from two distinct basic 
types of footwear, the sandal and the 
moccasin. 
Pictures of the earliest type of 
shoe in existence were shown. They 
were dug from ruins of an ancient — 
Roman city and were over 2,000 yea’s 
old. They are now the property of the 
United Shoe Machinery Co. Types 
of shoes worn in every country in the 
world were shown. 
materials are used,—wood, grass, 
straw, hemp, paper, cloth, hair and ~
