27 Ng K, -h re tg g ag Oo] Only very small quantities of rubber footwear are imported into Canada. the United States and France. 58. The export trade in rubber footwear of the four principal manufacturing countries. during 1928, was as follows :— Quantity (thousand pairs). Value £000. Kingdom. United Canada. United States. France. United Kingdom. Canada. United tates. France. 2050 | 94923 | 9102 | 4.370% ! 456 1.770 1.903 432 Export trade in 1998. x Fstimated from weight, at 1} pairs per kg. sal aat I Q. 59. In the Canadian and United States export returns canvas shoes with rubber soles are separated from other kinds of rubber footwear. It is, therefore, possible to compare more fully the sxport trade of those two countries in rubber footwear. The average export value per pair of canvas shoes with rubber soles was approximately the same in both countries for 1928— 9s. 10d. a pair. Canada exported in that year 7,376 thousand pairs valued at £1,048,000. The United States exported in the same year 5,318 thousand pairs valued at £756,000. Of the remaining kinds of rubber footwear exported, Canada exported during 1928, 2,047 thousand pairs valued at £722,000, or approximately 7s. a pair, while the United States exported 3,789 thousand pairs, valued at £1.147.000. or about 6s. a pair. Comparison of Canadian and United States oxnorts. In the returns of the United Kingdom and France, all kinds of footwear involving the use of rubber are included under one heading only. are vT —RUBRBER SOLES AND HEELS. 60. A feature common to all branches of the rubber industry with which we have so far dealt in detail, lies in the fact that the centres of the industry in each are located in comparatively few countries. This condition does not hold for rubber soles and heels. In nearly every country in which there is any rubber manufac- turing industry at all, soles and heels are made. Manufacturers exporting to these countries therefore have to face considerable competition from the local manufacturers. Very little skill is required in the manufacture of rubber soles and heels, the only difficulty being the preparation of the correct rubber mixture. A 8998 R ? Character- istics of the industry.
