mer months and in the fall from pure cool
spring water. They claim that it costs them
less to make it on account of the natural cool

TANNERY AND SHOE FACTORY.
Capt John b. Toulme, native of this place
has tannery and shoe factory in operation
here on a small scale, but quite successful
He also keeps butchery, and supplies his tan
merry with most of the hides which he works
into leather. He tans all sorts of skins and
hides-cow, beef, cali, goat, alligator, coon, dog
etc. His alligator Shoes made at his factory
look well, and they say wear well. He uses
oak bark-has tried some of the new patent
''short hand" methods, and does not like them.
He lets his leather lie in the pit and bark
about II months, and thinks he can maxi
leather from home hides and home grown
bark, that will outlast the best Northern leather
in the New Orleans market. He has been
tanning at this place and manufacturing shoes
about three wears. One hand makes about
eight pairs OF shoes in a day; by pushing he
can make ten twelve pairs.
