ever sold, in thirty days, by yOar process, with a
great deal less labor and with nearly onehalf less bark.

MEMPHIS, December g, 1861
E. J. PARK, Esq-Dem Sir; have been engaged in
tanning and manufacturing leather for fifteen years,
and may be considered to understand it practically a.
well "a theoretically. and feel it but simple justice to
state that your system Of tanning is decidedly superior
to anything with which / am acquainted Il saves at
least fifty per cent Of bark when # IS used and equally
that in cost when no bark is employed. and tsDs in q
vastly shorter period than can possibly be done by the
Old plan. The most Important feature, Of course, is the
great economy, ia tine and money, and the facility Of
using bak CT tanning without it. The system must
prove satisfactory to any purchaser.
Yours, etc. J. OLDRDGE.
