CARL HEDER TEMPLE 3-5401 24o KING S'r. KING cm Norm and his wife, the former Myrta Hoffman of Kitchener, and family came to Richmond Hill a few weeks after he received his army discharge in 1946. On March 26 of that year he opened his first place of business on Lorne Ave- nue in the venerable Trench Car- riage Works building and stayed there five years. The next five years were spent in a shop where the United Church addition on Yonge Street now stands and, oddly enough. five years ago, the VETERINARY SURGEON Telephone 147 Yonge St. N. Office -â€" TU. 4-1432 “We lived, breathed, slept and dressed army boots," he said. “I’ve seen as many as 2,000 boots repaired in eight hours when a draft was going overseas." The depot also repaired hundreds of thousands of pairs of boots for UNRRA which shipped them ev- erywhere in the world to Can- ada’s allies, including Russia. Opened Local Shop Dr. W. Allan Ripley Until this year he worked six days and two evenings each week, ever since his advent to ‘The Hill' and in this time estimates he has repaired 60,000 pairs of shoes, enough to give every man, woman and child in the munici- pality four pairs. He has now made one concession; during July and August he closes shop at 6 pm. on Thursday and Friday and at 5 pm. on Saturday . Army Life When World War II broke out, Norm figured he would take a rest from his bench and joined the Air Force. Six months later he had himself transferred to the army. “The services needed shoes and I had a hankering to be back in the one business I knew from top to bottom,” he said. For three-and-a-half years he was with the army shoe depot, spend- ing most of that period at the Aurora Return Stores Depot. first as a benchman, then, as a ser- geant in charge of_a department: Work conditions and wage scales have changed considerab- ly, Norm said, recalling that in the old days he assembled 40 pairs of one-strap canvas shoes per day, for which he was paid nine cents a pair, Norm was 13 when he started his first 11-year period in the trade with a well-known shoe factory in that city. It ended when he went to Canada Skate Com- pany where he remained four years before going to an Ameri- can plant at Akron, Ohio, for two years. By the time he was 30 there wasn’t much he didn’t know about shoes, in fact people who know say he had forgotten more than most so-called shoemakers knew. 90 A Pair - The shoe leather cutting, assem- bling and repair trade is synony- nous with the Evans family. His oldest brother Oscar spent more than 40 years in the leather-cut- ting business. His youngest bro- ther Bill, killed in World War II, was also a cutter and so was his third brother, Clayton. “Kitchen- er, where we hail from, boasted of many shoe plants, and I sup- pose it was natural for us to turn to the same type of work," he explained. Started At 13 first came to ‘The Hill' now send their own youngsters to him. The same holds true for shoes, of course. His first Richmond Hill client, Mrs. R. Cuttance, of Rose- view Avenue is still with him and one of his strongest boosters. Family Trade Among local and district ice addicts, Norm's Repair Shop is a name as familiar as their fav- ourite breakfast cereal. He has sharpened at least 25,000 pairs of skates in the last 15 years. now about 150 pairs per week during the winter season. The youngsters whose blades he began sharpen- ing some 15 years ago when he By Axel Sjoberg If Norm Evans decided to put the boot to his shoe repair busi- ness he could do so with a “Well done!” attitude but the fact is, after some 40 years in the shoe- making-repair trade during which time he has been personally res. ponsible for at least 250,000 pairs of shoes of all makes and sizes, he has not lost interest in his job. Every repair job continues to be a challenge and he figures that when leather ceases to spark enthusiasm in him it will be time to head for the pastures. 25,000 Pairs Of Skates Sharpened Repairing Of 250,000 Pairs Of Shoes Has Been 40-year Job For Norm Evans VETERINARY NORM EVANS THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, August 3, 1961 Richmond Hill Asked about hand-made shoes, he said that today a shoemaker would have to charge exorbitant prices to make up shoes which would compare with a good fac- tory made footwear to show a reasonable profit. He said that some years ago he made up sev- eral pairs, bwt that the stock alone for each pair cost almost $12 and the labour much more. “I just couldn't aflord to keep it Despite the fact that the cost of material and equipment has doubled in recent years, he has kept his prices at rock bottom. This. incidentally, partly explains his long hours, to which he does not object. He also pointed out that from an economy point of view, Goodyear welt makes for the best shoes because such welt not only has a long life but can be repaired satisfactorily. Hand-made Shoes Health-wise. he has one piece of advice. If your soles wear out from the inside you should see a doctor because there could be something the matter. The high heel fad has tripled his repair trade, he said, adding that the "my quarter-inch-dlam- eter heel top is easily broken. The tiny top fits on the end of a metal peg anywhere from two to three and three-quarters of an inch long which requires a spec- ial machine to draw it out from the heel piece. At the same time. cheap lm- ports have drastically cut his trade in children's shoes. It's his opinion that somewhat more expensive Canadian-made child- ren’s shoes, 'made with better lasts, would be cheaper in the long run. “They are longer last- ing, more comfortable and need less repairing," he said. Health Tip Mr. and Mrs. Evans said that before the local population mush- roomed they could identify by their footwear practically every person who walked by their shop. Pe_o_ple Are Funny Norm said people are funny. ’For example. some time ago a chap brought in a $50 pair of hand-made golf shoes for a 35 cent tongue-sewing job, and never returned,” he told us. “We're still waiting for him to collect his shoes." final move was made to 29 Yonge Street North. portant to you, it's a smart idea to read "THE LIBERAL" every Thursday.
