dle 37 a blccli 3d driver ell and a heel rest d3. ln the shoe and with the machine illustrated, litignails el?" pass 'through the 9 anu may or may not pass through the inturned tlangeoi the counter proper. should be .understood that neither the particular counter usednor the particular manner olf attaching it to the yshoe Whether.4 lasting, nailing, both lasting and nailing or otherivise is immaterial so lar as the broader aspects ci the invention are conce-fineda llter'the counter been property located and fastened to the shoe, the man 'lao ture ci the shoe may be completed in any known manner..` rlhe illustrated slice is removed :trom the torni, the heel portion ol the lining put into place with its lower. margin inturned and overlying the margin oit the tuck 9. A shanlr` piece l is then placed in the bottom olf the lshoe and fastened by tacks. Il socli: lining (not shown) may then be cemented or otherwise fastened on the' bottom'ol the inside of the shoe, such soch lso after Which the second last 4f? is inserted and the shoe beaten out. At this time, depending upon how the counter Was attached to the shoe While on the form 23, the heel seat may or may not be nailed. With ythe y illustrative shoe no such nailing is necessary since the nails 43? suliice. Thereafter theheel is attached and the usual finishing op'- erations performed.

Although several variations ol possible procedure have been indicated above, it is to be noted that each 'of them comprises as a step between the insertion of the first last and the insertion of the second last, the placing of the shoe with the molded counter loose in it upon an expansible form whichv locates the counter properly and thefastening of the counter` to the shoe While itl 1s held in proper location.

Having' thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States-is: n
