markably. However, the quallhg K.nd assor'3ent of shoes still leaves much to
be desired. The poor quality of shoes produced locally is the result of a low-
productive system and a lack of technical control in the factories of the
Ministry of Light Industry. Poorly qualified workers fail to reject clearly
defective semifinished shoes end allow t.mem to proceed through the final
stages of manufacture.
Letters to Baldnskiy Rabochiy complain about the poor assortment of shoes,
saying that canvas shoes for men and women and sandals for 5- to 7-year-old
children cannot be bought in Baku.
