| REVOLUTION IN THE MANUFACTURE 0F
LEATHER In November last. Sanford A Hick.
| el, Esq of West Virginia, secured n patent for
the most important discovery of this century
The manufacture of leather has been and is hos
| an exceedingly expensive business owing srear
| Iy to tie growing scarcity of the all portart
material bark. Ii has. therefore for years past
been he great object of our chemists and TAN
| ners to discover substitute fo r bark a"i'-
| tant tanning agent which in a measure would
possess the mportant tanning acids and which
would thus lessen the use of the expensive bark
| Throug the great discovery of Mr. Hickel, this
| important tanning agent has beer found, in The
| shape of a simple vegetable matter BY mature
| ali eady prepared as il would seem for the puf
pose for which it is now and hereafter to be fr'e
| ~ used The importance of the discovery cor
slsis in the abundance of this agent at all tiHa
| and AT all places of its mex xpensive nature AID
| containing equal if not more tanning acid thar
| the expensive bark. and being used with bars
saving one-half of that expensive material, an
making a frmer, stronger, pliahle ah4
heavier article of Leather than can be manufs.'
| tured with bark alone
But this age mt possesses additional VIRTUES 8;
| it opens the pores of the hides. and Therefore
| gives immediate access to the acid and in eOn't
| quence tans with much more rapidity than baii
1 thereby frum to W 9th irds Of
now consumed.
The discovery Of this tanning m aterial willp.'
| NIT the manufacture of superior article oflssih
er at one half its presen mt expense. and the grsA
saving of time in its manufacture will eDabiehs
capitalist to make three returns to his forns
! one 1t will likewise enable of limisl
means to establish themselves in a lucrative eI
slness, which heretofore was barred to small *
ginners on account of its expensiveness and "
| slow realization great reduction in the pnse
| OF this staple must occur when this system eona
into general use, and those who first introduce"
will be largely the gamers for it is destined sO
| TO cause revolution in the Leather marEs
Those who manufacture under the old processca
not possibly compete with those who mannheim
