INTERESTING TO
Tanners.

TTHE Subscriber offers his i'm
q provement in Tanning TO those engaged
in that branch of business, presuming that the
subjoined certificates of those who have test
ed its utility and the respectable sources from
which they are derived, will be sufficient to
introduce it to their attention. BY this pro-
cess, differing not so much in materials as in
application from the old and usual method of
tanning, calf skins can be tanned il regular
business in from 10 to IS days, heavy upper
leather Is to So, and the most stubborn south
ern dry hides made into excellent sole leath-
er in 90 days, while the expences Of labor and
materials falls short of that incurred by the
old and usual method. In establishing yards
one half the usual number Of sunken watts may
be dispensed with.
CERTIFICATES.
hereby certify that have been following
the new mode of tanning leather for the term
offs months; | first made the trial on calf skins
and found said process to answer every pur-
pose that could be wished, and have made
the experiment on all kinds Of heavy leather,
and have no hesitation in saying the improve
ment answers all the purposes for which it has
been recommended. 1t can be applied to
icnce as to the tanning Of few skins. Sole
leather can be tanned 3 times, upper leather
times and calf skins 8 times per year, and
believe these calculations will hold good for
regular business in every instance where the
directions are attended to, and there is no
danger of failure or of iniuring the leather.

| We certify that we have for some months
tanned considerably on the new and improved
methed, practised by Mr.. Charles Monroe,
and from our experience are now able to judge
for ourselves of its utility. We feel satisfied
it is an important object to any one engaged
in tanning, to follow this Improvement not on
ly for tanning and making at the same time
a saving in labor and materials, but it is GER
tain that leather produced by this process is
far superior as to elegance, plumpness and dur
| ability, and possesses also the power of turn
ing moisture much better than that produc-
ed by the old usual method of tanning.

Numerous other certificates might be added
OF similar purport, but it is presumed to be
unnecessary as the best recommendation is,
for each one to try for himself. Any in this
vicinity wishing to avail themselves of this
j improvement and who are not visited by the
subscriber, are referred to the Messrs. Davis's
of Northboro' for information and to contract
for rights.
