North Carolina Shoe Factory, THE Subscribers Adopt this method or inform ing the public that they hare established, and have now in operation ia Raleigh, a manufactory of WOODEIT SHOES, which they can confidently recommend aa the cheapest phoea npw manufactured; and aUo as an article which will prove valuable and lasting. Their ahoes are made of gum and poplar wood, and are lined, and finished off with leather tope and ears. These ahoea are. lighter than leather brogans of the same number. They are Im pervious to water, and, while they will last a lcg;time, they will also keep the feet perfectly drr. They will be found very suitable for railroad and field hands, and also for sentinels and soldiers who are mueL exposed. The poplir shoes are very light aud eaa be easily worn by any one. The subscribers haTe also ia operation at their 'stablish ment a machine for making SHOE LASTS ; and they are turning out large quantities of this article so indispensa ble to shoemakers, at fair prices. They are selling their shoes at $1,75 per pair wholesale, and $2 retail. Terms, cafh on delivery. We make the following extract from the Patent Office Report of 1859 1 Experience has shown that a namber of diseases, often resulting in impaired constitutions, and even in the loss of life, have been contracted' by a portion of the laboring population, in consequence of wearing leather shoea, when engaged in their operations, during cold weather, or in wet situations. To prevent these evils to seme extent, -wooden shoes are extensivclv worn in France and Ger. manv. They are highly recommended by the Agrical- tural Societies and governments of Europe. Impressed -with their importance, the Board of Commerce and trade of Wirtemberg, called a practical workman from France ia give instruction in their manufacture. - Hoi allowing water to penetrate as leather shoes do, they are naturally dryer, capable of keeping the feet warm, prevent diseases by promoting the requisite and salutary perspira tion, and are regarded, to a great extent, as life preservers. There is hardlr an operation on the farm and about the farm-houe in which they could not be profitably used. They are most economical about stafelee.wherelesthsr shoes are exposed to the destructive attacks of dung-water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work in vineyards, chopping wood, and in marketing. With thes advantages, in a salutarv Doint of view, thev combine -such durability as to last almost a life time. Ihese advantages will certainly entitle them to the atten tion of a portion of the farming, manufacturing and labour ing population of tho connsrr. - TIIK1M A FRAPS. Raleigh. X. C. Dec 31, 1861.
