MOSCOW — The newest piz
zeria in the land of borscht and
potatoes has a strict policy. No
orders “to go.”
“The Italian chef definitely
told us, ‘If you reheat it, it’s not
pizza,’” said Ludmilla Stogova,
manager of the restaurant at 37
Gorky street, a prime location
on one of Moscow’s major shop
ping streets.
The no take-out policy and
the placement of 16 tables in a
room that could easily hold twice
as many shows profit is less im
portant at a state-run cafe than it
would be in the West.
So does its strictly socialist
name: Frunzensky District Cafe
No. 1.
Mrs. Stogova said with pride
that business doubled the day af
ter her establishment was re
viewed in the evening Moscow
newspaper some weeks ago.
Mrs. Stogova herself, like
many Russians, was not familiar
with pizza before the restaurant
opened for business June 21.
The management offers what
it describes as genuine Neapoli-
tan-style pizza, prepared
according to the recipes of a chef
brought in by an Italian firm
that hopes to set up more pizzer
ias across the country.
In the course of recent visits
prices varied remarkably. On
one occasion three pizzas, a
cheese turnover and three soft
drinks cost $12.25. Another day
three pizzas were only $3.75.

United Press International
NEW YORK — After 40 years
of steady decline, the cobbling
trade is growing rapidly again
because of the high price of new
shoes.
Back in 1940, there were
50,000 shoe repair shops in the
United States. The number
dwindled for various reasons to
between 9,000 and 15,000 by
1977. Now it’s approaching
20,000 again according to Fred
Trezise of AMMERICAN Bil-
trite, Inc., of Chelsea, Mass.,
maker of Cat’s Paw and other
lines of shoe repair products.
The Shoe Service Industry
Council in Chicago puts the fi
gures a little lower, saying the
number of shops fell to a low of
9,600 and now is something over
12,000.
The cobbling trade’s long de
cline had many causes.
Trezise said he thinks the
biggest was affluence and the
growth of the “throwaway”
psychology in American society.
Another was a drop in immig
ration from Italy, the country
from which more cobblers came
than any other. And as was the
case with the immigrants who

manned New York’s garment
industry, Trezise said, many of
the cobblers who were successful
wanted their children to move
up to some more prestigious
vocation.
The Shoe Service Industry
Council and Trezise agreed on
three other reasons: rising rents
for the shops, the mechanization
of the trade requiring a substan
tial investment in machinery
and, above all, the rapid diver
sifying of shoe manufacturing
from leather into synthetic
materials that are not easy to re
pair or economically unfeasible
to repair.
It ceased to pay parents, for
example, to repair children’s
shoes was done routinely in the
days of all-leather shoes.
Whatever the causes, it be
came kind of hard to find a shoe
repair shop in many communi
ties, particularly suburban com
munities.
But now inflation has raised
the prices of new shoes 83 per
cent in the last three years alone
and 300 to 400 percent in a de
cade — and leather shoes are
enjoying a comeback.
Inflation has driven the cost
of repairing shoes up too and
some of the shops in high rent
locations are forced to demand
payment in advance or substan
tial deposits.
Both Trezise and the Shoe In
dustry Service Council said,
however, repair costs have not
gone up as much as the price of
