Erected from original plans and con-
structed under the personal supervision
OF Erwin Q. Fisher, there is tannery in
Bethel, VT, which is. recognized by ex-
perts who have had the pleasure of "go'
ing over, it as one Of the best equipped
in this country. II not 10 the world.
Every convenience for economical pro-
duction, every latest improved method for
manufacturing leather under the latest
modern conditions is embodied Ia the
plant and.a consequence, the company
with which Mr.. Fisher is identified has
been able to keep busy during the recent
comparative inactivity for most kinds Of
leather.
The E. c. Fisher Co. produces 1900 aides
Of chrome grains and patent leather daily
al their Bethel plant. the practical work
being In charge OF Eugene A. Fisher, a
brother Of Erwin.
There is no necessity to dwell on the
skill Of the former gentleman, for bis
product speaks for itself. and is recog-
nized by buyers as equal to anything on
the market. The grain is fine. and has a
mellow feel and resembles good grade
colt in every particular. This enterpris-
ing company have, with characteristic en-
terprise, placed line of chrome tanned
sole leather on the market recently that
is meeting with the same success as theil
upper stock.
Skeptics have declared that it was i'm
possible to produce a practical chrome
sole, but the Fisher company have com
pleteIy destroyed this theory BY manufac
turing this article to perfection BY theil
own secret process, that is claimed By
competent tanners and leather chemists
to be the greatest advance in leather man
ufactured since the discovery Of chrome
tanning. Its durability is double that o
the best bark tannagus and possesses
hexibility that is s'iust flexible enough
1t resists water, being perfectly water
proof. and does not slip when welt
does not squeak-and It Is not injured b,
heat, which would destroy bark leather
