Korth Carolina Shoe Factory, THE Subscribers Adopt this method of Inform mg the public hat they hare established, and hav now in operation in Ralei;h,'a manufactory of WOODEN . SHOEfc, which they can confidently rerommend as the. cheapest s-hocs now manufactured, and also as an article which will prove valuable and lasting. Their shoes are made of gum and poplar wood, and are lined, and finished off with leather tops and ears. These shoes are lighter than leather brogans of the same number. Thev are im perious to waterand while they will last a lo'njf time, they will also keep the feet perfectly dry. They will be found very suitable for railroad and field bands, and alse for sentinels and soldiers who are much exposed. Tbe popl r shoes are very light and ran be easily worn by any one. ... ,-.:. : , . The subscrib;rs hate also in operation at their -stabliih-ment a machino for making SHOE LASTS; and they are turninjr out larpc quantities of this article so indispensa-1 ble to shoemakc rs, at fair pricus. They are soiling their shoes at $1,75 per pair wholesale, and $2 retail. Terms, cash on delivery. We make the following extract from the Patent Office Report of 1859 : J .. Experience has bhow that a number of diseases, often resulting in impaired constitutions, and even in tbe loss of life, have been contracted by a portion of the laboring 1 population, in consequence of wearing leather shoes, when engaged in their operations, during eold weather, or in wet situations-. To prevent these evils to some extent, wooden shoes are extensively worn in Franco and Ger many. They are highly recommended by the Agricul tural Societies and governments of Europe. Impressed with their importance, the Board of Commerce and trade of Wirtemberg, called a practical workman from France to give instruction in their manufacture, : . Not 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, ami are regarded, to a great extent, as life preserver. i There is hardly an operation ori the farm and about th farm-house in which they could not be profitably used. Tliey are most economical about UaMes,where leather hoeg arc exposed Jb the destructive attacks of dung-water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work in . vineyards, chopping wood, and in marketing. With thee? advantages, in a j salutary point of view,, they combine such durability as! to last almost a life time. ' These advantages will certainly entitle them to the atten tion of a portion of the faTmlng,manufacturirg and labour ing population of the connsry. THEIM & FRAP8. Raleigh. 2T. C., Dec. 31, 18(51.
