Thomas Cameron

THOMAS CAMERON, Boot Upper Manufacturer, 21, Argyle Street, Glasgow.

    One of the most important adjuncts of the boot and shoe manufacturing trade has long been the manufacture of uppers on a wholesale scale. This important department is fully illustrated in the workshops of Mr. Thomas Cameron situated as above. The premises comprise a commodious flat fitted up with all the necessary machinery and affording plenty of space for the operations of the large staff engaged in the various cutting-out, ornamenting, and closing operations.

    The whole is under the direct supervision of the proprietor, who is himself a practical man. The most striking feature of the business is the high-class quality of the work turned out, both as regards material and manipulation. The scale of charges is marked by great moderation, and as a retail business is done principally, the customer in this case, as in so many others we have noted, gains a distinct advantage in buying direct from the manufacturer. We can only add that we wish Mr. Cameron every success.
