[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

C.1900 Miller (Shoe) Last Works Exhibition Booth Cabinet Card.

A handsome view of the Miller display at an unknown exhibition. Historic 
England notes- “Oliver Ammi Miller, an American entrepreneur from the 
shoe-manufacturing town of Brockton, Mass., built this last works in 
1896. In 1902 Miller sold his majority holding to the British United 
Shoe Machinery Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of the United Shoe Machinery Corp. 
of Boston, Mass.. In the 1950's the firm moved into the production of 
plastic heels. Production ceased in the late 1960's. Last making was an 
essential part of the industry as all boots and shoes were constructed 
on lasts and they had a limited life-span and needed regular 
replacement”.
