Philadelphia, Fourth Month (April) 9, 1774.
WHEREAS there will be wanted this pre
sent year, in and near this city, above
Two Thousand Cords of Spanish white-oak, beech
and hemlock BARK, for which good prices and
ready money are given ; it is to be hoped, that all
persons who have timber of those kinds to cut, and
are convenient to navigation or land carriage to
this city, will be careful to do it in the proper sea
son and get the bark, as they will not only find
their own advantage therein, but will aifo have the
fatisf^ion of contributing to public utility, by
furnifhing the manufacturers of leather with so
scarce and necessary an article, and the bark, if
kept dry, will receive no damage by keeping; a
quantity thereof, in any person's possession, may
be always considered as ready cash, and brought to
market when it may be most convenient.
It is thought a large quantity may be got Up De
laware, and very advantageous to those, who are
convenient to fend it down in the Durham boats,
ter otherwise.
