About Wilmington Glazed Kid and
N. sneIlenburs & Company.
NEW YORK. Feb. 8. 1908.
THE EVENING JOURNAL CO..
Wilmington, Del.
Gentlemen: In your issue of the Goth
ultimo we have noticed with satisfac-
tion the advertisement Of Snellenburg
putting forward in bold type Golden
Brown Color No. p Kid" We certainly
believe that Messrs. Snellenburg, in
advertising this article as prominently
as they do, will increase the sales Of
their department very much, because
we have not the least hesitancy in stat
ing that there never has been any
leather manufactured that has been as
theoretically advertised direct to the
public throughout the United States as
Golden Brown Color No. p Kid" has.
We furthermore have not the least
hesitancy in stating that there never
has been any leather on the market
which has enjoyed a larger call from
shoe manufacturers and jobbers, which
naturally means a call from the public,
that this particular leather has.
Golden Brown Color No. p Kid" is
made exclusively by us. and which is
certainly a matter Of pride for the city
of Wilmington, as all goods sold and
manufactured By us are made at our
factories exclusively in that city. 1t is
a product of the city o. Wilmington,
a creation of the city Of Wilmington.
1t has been patented by US In WASH
ington and cannot be duplicated by
- anf
competition even if IL had not been
patented. for the reascn that all our
chemicals used in the manufacture Of
our feathers are treated In our own
laboratory under the supervision of our
own resident chemists.
We appreciate the good work which
you and the important stores in Will
mington are doing for the Glazed Kid
movement, whether it be in our Gold
en- Brown Color No. 21 Kid" or in
Black Glazed KID. because there is no
doubt about It that the leather which
answers most questions correctly, the
leather which gives the best satisfac-
ton to the wearer. is that leather
which is commonly termed Chrome
Tanned Glazed Kid made out of goat
skins, and for which the city Of Will
mington has long been famed as one
Of the chief producers, and the continu-
Gus additions to our plants and the
active wording Of our plants is a clear
demonstration Of the fact that no more
desirable spot can be found than the
city Of Wilmington for the mAuufsc-
ture Of this class Of leather, which is
growing IN popularity every day with
the public throughout the world.
This "Golden Brown Color No. 21
KID" which we make in Wilmington is
as we'll known to-day in every civilized
country on the face of the earth as it
Is IN The United States itself and we
are glad indeed that a product Of the
city Of Wilmington is being so widely
distributed 70 every centre of the
globe.
Again appreciating very much the
interest which you are taking in this
campaign Of publicity which we have
been following up so closely for the
past few years and looking to con-
tinuance Of the valuable support of the
merchants Of Wilmington as well az Of
your esteemed publication, believe us,
Yours very truly,

The only complete defeat sustained
by the Taft delegates in the contests
was in the Fifth Virginia district.
where a Foraker delegation was seat
ed because a man was allowed 20 act

who had issued a call for a convention

only"
Outside OF the conclusion Of the con
tests before the national committee the
most important development was the
issuance by the allies" OF state
ment in which they declared their IA
tention Of sticking to the hnish." and
in which they asserted that il was GER
tain that there will be no nomination
on the first ballot"
The attitude OF the "allies." as out
lined in this statement. was greatly
strengthened by the arrival OF General
Stewart l.. Woodford. OF New York.
who is in charge of the interests OF
Governor Hughes. One of the frst
things encountered by General Wood
ford on his arrivel in Chicago was the
strong sentiment developing to couple
the names of Taft and Hughes. This.
however. General Woodford met with
the statement that the New York dele
cation would come here instructed to
support Hughes for the presidency and
until the convention had made its
choice there would be no consideration
of Governor Hughes name for any
place except at the head OF the ticket
When shown the authoritative state
ment made at Albany that the gov
'ernor cannot and VIII not under any
circumstances accept a nomination for
the vice presidency" General Wood
ford said: THAT Is exactly what ex-
pected."
Active work on convention prelimi-
naries will be under fun headway to-
night or tomorrow New York, Massa-
chusetts, Maine and Missouri delega-
tions arrived today. Tomorrow the
California delegation will arrive. and
numerous other states from the west
will have their complete quota on
hand.
Speculation was busy with the vice
presidential question. No one was
able TO arrive at a definite conclusion
or to form a confident prediction as to
the possible outcome. The only vice
presidential candidate as yet on the
ground is John Hays Hammond. who
admitted that he was not exactly in
the lead" but added that he was salts
fed with existing conditions and pros
poets.

will be chairman of the committee on

that II he is nominated he will not de-

tary Taft for first place. the naming OF
