      All you need as a beginner to make good profit from cryptocurrency is a professional trader who will always notify you when to BUY/SELL else you may make losses.

      I was big on gold and silver but a few months ago I discovered Bitcoin and Ethereum. Listening to lots of stuff from Mr Dwayne has been really helpful in my journey.

      Like the analysts, I am positive about bitcoin. am sure that now it will begin to develop very rapidly. It is still difficult to give an accurate forecast. But I prefer to trade my bitcoin and accumulate more.

      I have traded with a lot of individuals but I have never come across anyone as good as Mr Dwayne, just by applying his strategies, I now trade independently, he is the best I'd advise any novice in investing to trade with him

    My grandfather was a fourth generation Irish shoe maker. He rose through the ranks of manufacturing and eventually retired as the manufacturing vice president for the Floreshiem Shoe Company (retiring in 1962). He took me on many tours of the factory in downtown Chicago. He always stopped the tour to show and explain shoe lasts. He claimed it was the reason for Floreshiem's success as a shoe manufacturer.
    Early in his career he was dispatched to wealthy clients homes or businesses to cast their feet and oversee the making of lasts that were specific to individual customers. I remember him talking about making lasts for Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Harvey Firestone. He took great pride in making shoes for Presidents and leaders of industry. His said his greatest achievement was overseeing the manufacture of 100's of thousands of shoes for the military in WWII.
    After WWII ended he was the President of the Shoe Manufacturers Association and he lead a drive to ship donated shoe manufacturing equipment to German shoe manufacturers to replace equipment destroyed or looted by the Russians. As a child in the 1960's I remember traveling to Germany and visiting the Salamander Shoe Company. They treated us like royalty and drove us around in a big black Mercedes limousine. A small street behind the factory was actually named after my grandfather to his amusement.

      @@LyonTheGreat I was the only kid in my high school that wore Florshiem Imperial Shoes. Some of the best shoes ever made. My father started his own company and was a supplier to many other major shoe companies including Red Wing Shoes. I picked a different path and now I wear Edmond Allen shoes.

    I remember one time I was with my father in front of a shoe store, and he told me how before most shoes were bespoke, but since that was more expensive than the way shoes are made nowadays, I've always wanted a pair of bespoke shoes ever since, but since I live in a rather small city, I haven't heard of anyone that makes bespoke shoes here

    Back in the OLD days when Johnston and Murphy were good shoes, they had Lasts of my father's 11-1/2 AA foot!!!
    I have fond memories as a child of him polishing and caring for his shoes every Sunday night. He did his shoes for the next week to go with the various suits he would wear. He probably had 20 pairs of custom-made shoes.
    Before he went into the Nursing home at 90, he was sad that we had to throw them out because: "they won't fit anyone" !!
    Some of those shoes were at least 50 years old and they looked just as beautiful as the day they were unboxed.

    Hello Gentleman’s Gazette I love you videos. I just want to say I have a 50% chance that I actually came up with a new way to tie a tie! It’s uneven and not so complicated. How can you guys confirm it for me?

    I like to use Bondo to build my lasts. I used to use leather, but it was slow and not so accurate. As with glue, working with Bondo can be harmful indoors, so adequate ventilation and face cover is imperative. This video is excellent.

    I think it is always funny when real life syncs up with these videos. While I was in an antique store looking for a wooden shoe shine kit, I came across some lasts. Being the first time seeing one in real life I excitedly told my shopping companion all about it. Although she liked my enthusiasm, she was definitely not as excited as I was on the discovery. Thank you for making these videos!
