There is a. likelihood that Oscar
Anderson, Well-known and expert
builder of boats. with yards in East
Norwalk, will receive orders from a
New York firm to build tug-bouts,
.yarying from 40 to 50 feet. . n' South
American countries. Mr. Anderson
said this‘morning he recently receiv-
ed inquiries from an export concern.
-in New York concerning his building
the tugs. The local builder considers
his prospects good for an order with-
in the near future.
Business, during this summer, has
been slower than in any of the years
MrJAnderson has been’engaged in‘
building boats. It was stated this
morning that; the chances are. good
for a brisk local trade during the win-
ter months, but at‘the present time
things are nearly at a standstill in
the Anderson yards.
Providing Mr. Anderson
the South American orders, it will
mean a big thing for him. and will
keep him rushed until the' expected

‘ in Shoe Styles For Next Season.
At the recent conference held in
the Hotel Astor, New York, by four
of the largest associations of 11001
an-
nouncement was made that the prices
for all shoes will be advanced in that
coming season. It was fort-casted, as
well that there will be ‘a radical
change in style.
Lewis B Hurlhutt, of the bonus-
bury Mathewson & Compsnys fac-
tory on Havlland street. this city,
said this morning that although the
price of material has gone higher,
due,.to some extent, to the European
war. the local shoe manufacturers‘
policy as to prices for next season
has not yet been defined. There. will
be no special change in the styles of ,
NOrwalk-made shoes, according to Mr.
Hurlliutt. The slice-samples of the
local. factory will be ready for the.
road within a month or so, and at
that time the prices wilLbe determin-
ed. . . .
According to shoe-men throughout
the country, who during the past sea-
son have been making the “ginger-
bread" shoe for women, as well as
those that lace on the side and back,
and" those of odd colors, these freaks
will be no more, their doom being
pronounced at the recent conference
in New York.
