4 There is no kind of leather that
can be produced by the best oak
bark, bnt is produced BY this system,
and Of equal quality. The
material averages as cheap as the
average Of oak bark at IS per cord;
the handling and preparing the bark
to leather not added in the expense,
which would make it about IS per
cord moro; and that much more ex-l

3 given amount OF leather; but this
system Tans out in one-fourth the
time-requiring only onesfourth the
Tanning space, dispensing with
teaches, bark mill, bark honse-in
fact requiring only 50per cent of the
expense Of Tanning fixtures, as re-
auired in the old way-absoluteiy
requiring SO little capital that men of
small means can embark in the BUSH

Of success. The materials are in

Mr.. Hatch has sold out his SIX

also, tho right of the county. The
Tannory is fine brick establishments
that he built in 1851, which he cor
ried on for years with credit to him.

being carried on by q new firm, and
by this system Of Tanning who
are making first-class leather, that
gives the very best satisfaction
in wear and commerce.. A.3
Mr.. Hatch is now dcvoting his
time to travelling and correspondence;
introducing this system Of Tanning
through the west and south with
good success. q aai49sa a i,lg'

ton does not cost to exceed 90 cents
to each vat of hides or leather, and
is always at the hand Of every Tan
ner. rich or poor in the land. 1t en-
ables the oak bark Tanner to Tan
out his leather in the above stated
time. 1t improves the. plumpness,
and consequently the weights Of the
leather; also makes it Of finer quail
ty; firm and tougher. 1t en-
tirely prevents oak Tan liquors from
souring-consequently stops tho dis
truction of Idnnin or waste ofbark,
as when old acidous liquors como in
contact with fresh Tan liquors. Pre-
cipitation of 1annin takes place;
consequently great loss Of bark
thereby--enough to pay for thcpatent
many times over. This article seems
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to be properlylaid
before the public and for the public
good, or those who would like to
embark in the trade.
1t should be distinctly understood
by the public that there are sharp
ers travelling thro' the country sell
ing spurious methods in Tanning
falsely calling them Hatch's patent,
or process-duping the people and
obtaining their money by false pre-
fences. 81
Mr.. Hatch does his own selling
personally, and has no one acting in
tho Northwest as agent by power
Of Attorney from himself. therefore
