We, the undersigned, are acquainted with the process
Of tanning, recently invented by Harmon Hubbard, for
which he has patent. We have tanned aud made use
of the leather and believe it be the best method of
Tanning now in use; the strength and beanty ofthe
leather, combined with the cheapess of the materials
used, and the little time necessary TO be spent 10
vert the malerll into leather, is sufficient to
mend it to the patronage of all persons who may be
gagged in this business +"
