doubt
The tanners trade for the past few
years has become ruinols, owing To the
cutthroat policy and this com bination will
not only benefit themse yes, but the buy

conducted on broader sctle than here

+. >. johnson, another dealer, was Of the
opinion that the combination could better
the condition of the trade, but how much
could not be answered until after a trial
Several other dealers who were inter
viewed last evening were Of the opinion
that the Tanners association would be "A
benefit rather than an overbearing monop-
oily. The bulk Of the production in the
future will be under one management that
of the officers of the Tanners association.
Just where their headquarters will be
located is not known at present, but the
probabilities are that il will be in Boston
or New York
