    How to Make a Shoe.

    ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

    1882.

    2 Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1882, by

    Jno. P. Headley, Jr.

    ,

    in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C.

    3 Shoemakers are known both far and wide,

    As men who always cut up side—

    Horse sometimes, also cow leather,

    To meet the changes in the weather.

    Sheep and goats are often slain;

    Both unite to make it plain

    That sheep is used for lining nice,

    When goat alone would not suffice;

    Just so with calf as well as kid.

    Some use these linen-lined,

    And think it quite the best, for those

    Who feel themselves refined.

    Refined or not, we think it true

    Our feet need some protection;

    To do whate’er they have to do,

    We make our own selection.

    Select at all times the best we can,

    Both of shoemakers as well as shoes,

    This is much the better plan,

    And learns us how to choose.

Realizing the imperfections and shortcomings of the human family, to some extent at least, no claim beyond that which you are
