movement for public milk depots took

Uses for SnakcSkins.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter,
Snake skins as a novelty have been used for
some time, and recently they have been used
for fiat bags. pocketbooks, &c, and some
slippers have been shown made from these
skins. Smaller snakeskins, such as have
no marks on them. have had little value.
The larger skins with beautiful markings
we're sought and they were tanned In alum

showed the marks to better advantage.
