1927 Oh that was a bad year for man kind in North America that was the start of the Great Shoe Lace famine. By mid 1927 there was not a pair of shoe laces to be found. People were dropping in the streets for lack of shoe laces. Many a family broke up because they had nothing to tie their shoes with. Men would stand on street corners and you could hear them say Hey bud can you spare a lace. Many jumped freight trains and rode the rails hopeing to find a town with shoe laces. Families packed every thing they owned and headed across country looking for laces. I have allways wondered if the novel Grapes of Wrath was adapted to. I think it should have been named Grapes of Laces my self...It was known as the dirty 27'S. Governments enacted a law, called The Lace Law where laces had to be put aside in warehouses in order to be prepared to supply laces if it ever happened again.
