The use of horsehide in razor strops is
uses to which horsehide is put. saws a
shoe dealer. 1t is an excellent and yalu-
able leather. Some parts of the hide are
used for shoe uppers. the leather pro-
duced for the purpose being called Cor
dovan, from Cordova. in Spain, where it
was first made. CordOvan is fine
strong, handsome leather: it formerly
cost more than calfskin: but now the
cost is about the same. Horsehide is
and mittens. and in bookbinding; and
there is made of it an imitation buckskin
Horsehide is used in making whiplashes
and some parts of it are used for making
shoestrinGs; it is used for carriage
leather in covering seats and 50 On.
HorSehide is much thinner than cowhide
The supply of horsehides comes chief
ly from cities. Some horsehides are i'm
ported from Europe. the greatest number
OF these coming from Russia. The finest
o. all horschldcs come from Normandy
in France. City hOrsehides are common
~ the best. and the best Of all American
hprsehides are those gathered in TINS
city. The largest and best hides come
from the fine. big draught horses used nv
brewers and others.
AS compared with the number of COW
hides and other hides tanned the number
ol horsehi1es Is. Of course limited; but
IN the aggregate it is large ana there is
a demand for all the leather produced"
