Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Purchase, Manufacture, and Inspection of United States Army Shoes and Shoe Lasts: Prepared Under the Direction of the Quartermaster General of the Army It is believed that it might be of some future value to reduce to writing deductions made from personal observations, results obtained from actual tests, and knowledge gained from practical acquaintance with the general conditions surrounding the manner and method of the purchase, manufacture, and inspection of shoes for Army purposes at the Boston depot during the emergency created by the World War. The questions considered and determined have been varied and numberless, and many situations having arisen demanding careful study and nice distinction in judgment for their proper adjustment, it is felt that the experience thus acquired has undoubtedly resulted in obtaining the best possible shoes of the several types adopted, and that the data relative thereto should be of inestimable value in future endeavors of a similar character, even though the volume of production might not be as great. It is also felt that shoemaking knowledge of a high standard - speaking from a standpoint of merit rather than from a commercial standpoint is to be found in the Shoe Branch, and that there will be no more opportune time than the present to analyze the successful accomplishment of the stupendous task placed upon this branch of the organization, since as the emergency work is completed the organization will dwindle to a great extent, many of the inspectors entering other walks of life, while some of the older and more valuable men of the branch, especially those long connected with the service, are getting well along in years, and an expression of their views on the proper method of making Government shoes is of great importance. There have been 35 different shoe manufacturers, each with an inspector in charge stationed at his respective factory, making the same type of shoe, yet it has been found that the product of. each manufacturer has had some process carried out in some respect differently from each of the others. A comparison and study of the operations performed and the work accomplished at each factory, together with discussions with the various contractors, have, it would appear, resulted in ascertaining the proper manner of performing each and every operation, and the reason why any given operation should be executed in the manner prescribed has been determined by means of actual experience, the conclusions becoming self-evident, thereby rendering it unnecessary for future inspectors to spend any great amount of time or energy in experimenting.
