In the old days the cordwainer,
the tanner and the currier had sep
arate rights in the preparing of
alum leather, tan leather and work
ing cowhides. The cordwainer was
to make boots and shoes of calf's
hide No master was to keep more
than eight. servants, and the carry
ing of shoes through the streets for
sale was permitted only before din
ner.
The first ordinance establishing
the Cordwainers' company was
granted in 1872 by the will and
consent Of the mayor and the other
barons of the city of London f3for
the relief and the advancement of
the whole business and to the end
that all frauds and deceits may
hereafter be avoided" In the fol-
lowing reign the prices allowed to
be charged for shoes were IL cents
for a pair Of shoes of Cordovan
leather and 10 cents for pair of
cowhide shoes.
Nowadays the Cordwainers' COM

traditions, give its members BAN

technical education and contribute

History Of This Ancient Craft Of Work.
ers In Leather.
Of the ancient and influential
guilds of London the cordwainers
have a history second to none.
They were first incorporated by
Henry Nv. in lao, and in 1889
their charter was made to include
all workers in leather within dis
lance of two miles of the city
boundary. Later their control was
extended over the London leather
markets.
Cordwaining means working in
Cordovan leather. These artisans
had gathered themselves into an as
ISOLATION at an early period. They
were originally located on the fringe
of the old city of Londinium when
the Roman power was predominant
in Britain. Here they remained for
many centuries, their industry
forming one of the staple trades of
the country. The craft had long
been recognized as an important
factor in molding the municipal life
of English towns. For instance, the
Gilda Corvesaorum of Oxford in
the tTelfth century was successful
