Patent Tanning Machine.

lOWELL'S fatcmt TANNING Machine.
IL The great saving Il time and labor effected by
this machine renders il one OF tho most valuable Of
modern Inventions, being Of the utmost importance
to those already engaged in the manufacture leah
err besides offering the greatest inducements 10 9th
ers for starting the business. .. ~.
BY this machine, which in It's operation strictly
follows the principles Of the old way, all kinds Of
hides and skins may be tanned, not only so as to
produce a superior article of leather, but with sa-
wing of seyenty-hye per cent In time, and hfty per
cent. in labor, besides great economy IN bark or
tanning material.
A tannery in which the improved method was
adopted, would, by It's savings alone, be attended
with large profits, whilst neighboring one where
the old plan was pursued would be losing money
The invention, which has been awarded gold
medal by the American Institute, as being the most
valuable improvement ever introduced into this
branch Of manufactures, has given the highest salts
faction in the different States IN which II Is in use
In the opinion Of practical men who have adopted
the improvement, AT the cost OF about hye hundred
dollars establishment can be started which will
tan two thousand sides Of sole leather, or four thou
sand calf skins per annum, al fifty per cent less than
the usual expense Of manufacture. Wherea greater
amount Of business is required TO be done, add.
tIonal outlay, Of course, will be necessary BY this
machine sole leather can be thoroughly tanned in
twenty to thirty days, upper leather IN two weeks,
and cafskIns in from three To seven days. The
subscribers offer for sale single and county rights
for the above, and will afford the most liberal faci-
Ties to those purchasing State rights for the purpoSs
