Thank you for your fine reception.
It is a great pleasure to be here in Brockton.
I have been hearing about Brockton's shoes
for a great many years.
Your record of production
for shoes of the armed forces during the war was nearly
unbelievable, I think you turned out eighteen million
pairs of shoes for the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.
That's a wonderful record.
Prices are now so high that many people
in the country are finding it difficult to buy the necessities
of life, like good shoes.
I think you all know who is to blame
for these high prices.
