HOwELL's Patent Tanning Machine

IL The great saving Of time and labor effected by
this machine renders It one of the most valuable OF
modern inventions, being of the utmost importance
to those already engaged in the manufacture of eath
er, besides offering the greatest inducements to 9TH
ers for starting the business.
BY this machine, which In its operation strictly
follows the principles of the old way, all kinds OF
hides and skins may be tanned not only so as to
produce superior article of leather but with sa-
wing Of seventy-fve per in time and fifty per
cent. IN labor, besides great economy in bark or
tanning material.
A tannery in which the improved method was
adopted, would, by its savings alone, be attended
with large profits, whilst a neighboring one where
the old plan 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 1t is in use.
In the opinion OF practical men who have adopted
the improvement, at the cost of about FIVE hundred
dollars establishment can be started which will
tan two thousand sides of sole leather four thou
sand calf skins per annum at fifty per cent less than
the usual expense of manufacture. Where greater
amount of business is required to be done, add
tlonal outlay of course, will be necessary. By this
machine sole leather be thoroughly tanned in
twenty to thirty days, upper leather in weeks,
and caskIns in from three to seven days. The
subscribers offer for sale single and county rights
for the above, and will afford the most liberal fac-
ties to those purchasing State rights for the purpose
of reselling to counties or individuals. A neat mod
ell of the machine, showing its action and consuuc-
ton will if required, be furnished gratis to all pur-
chasers.
For further particulars, address (post pad) Bu-
chanan d CO., at the Office of the Albion newspaper
New York.
One of these machines will be exhibited in opera
ton at the great national fair at Washington city
Persons at distance who may be unable to be
present at the fair, would do well to procure some
friend at Washington, to attend and examine for
them the great advantages Of this improvement
