SUCCESSFUL TANNERY UNDER
Al NEW PROCESS

DR.. Frank E. McCIane has rendered
his resignation as superintendent OF
the Industrial school for Boys al
Marianne and before retiring authoriz
ed the publication of the following in
formation about tanning leather al
the institution.
He says:
.My attention was called to an edi
torial in the Times Union, of August
IS, Tanning in Florida.
eve already have been tanning IN
Florida. In 1920, under my admins
tration, / built a tannery, a two-story
building, 30x9O, in which we have been
tanning leather, since that time, two
samples Of which am enclosing you,
also, little monogram given to the
press association while visiting this
institution.
I employed Mr.. Frank futile, an
expert tanner. to supervise this work,
who became dissatisfied by the non
support given us on this product by
the Honorable Board, ETC., and pro-
posed to move to Southport, to go in
business for himself to tan alligator
hides, and other work for tourists
only. The Chipley Board of Trade,
some members having visited the
Florida Industrial School for Boys,
knowing of the good work being done
here, happened to run on to Mr.. Tut
tie, and the sequence was, that they
stopped him OFF at Chipley, and they
are erecting at Chipley $4,000 tan
ming plant, with more backing if nee
cessary.
This sample of leather, which you
see before you, is tanned by the ma
tive moss grown in Florida, under a
patent of the above Mr.. futile. In
losing Mr.. futile from the Florida In
dustrial School for Boys, the tannery
has practically shut down.
We were furnishing from here and
tanning hides for the various insti-
tutions of the state.
Since starting this one project at
this institution, the Florida Industrial
School for Boys has not paid out one
dollar for shoes or for leather, or for
harness or other leather used at this
institution.
