#CAT-8 - 1920's Adams Leather Co. Catalog... exclusive dealers in Shoe Store and Shoe Maker's Supplies and Shoe Repairing Machinery and Bootblack Supplies- $30.00 Try and imagine all the things that might go into such a catalog... Leather, Lasts, Machinery and Tools, Dyes, Polishes, Fasteners, Gaiters, Store Furniture and Display Devices, Foot-Comfort Supplies (did these work any better than what's on the market today?), Shoe Buttons, Button Hooks and Shoe Horns, Hog Bristles, and tons more esoteric stuff! All that and more is included in this remarkable catalog, and virtually every item is illustrated, and all are priced! The catalog measures 7.75" x 10.5" and has 169 pages plus an order blank. The condition is VeryGood. The softbound cover is lightly bumped and rubbed at the corners and edges. The spine was bound in black tape for durability (more catalog publishers should have done this!). There is a hole for a hanging string at the UL corner. A bit of smudging is seen along one edge of the back cover. A small, light dampstain is at the LL corner and diminishes as one goes in the first dozen pages or so. Other than the aforementioned minor faults, the interior pages are clean, tight, bright and complete with NO other faults.
