WLL TAN YOUR HIDE 



ind make warm, comfortable coats with higb collars, or into robes, mit 

 tens, jackets, ladies' furs. etc. and save you a lot of money 

 as well. We tan by nature's method only and use no 

 chemicals or dyes which cause the hairs to shed. Color 

 makes no dirterence. Almost any hide looks well when 

 made up into a fine comfortable robe or coat. Will resist 

 cold. wind, rain or snow, are soft and pliable as cloth and 

 very little heavier. Instead of selling your hides to the 

 butcher, let us make them into useful garments that will 

 wear for years and enable you to enjoy the coldest weather. 

 If you send in your hides now, we will pay the freight 

 on all hides sent to be made into coats and robes and 

 give you FREE— with each cow or horse coat or robe a 

 pair of fur-knit-ltned mittens with horse-hide palms. If 

 you have no hides to send us, we can 



Sell You Furs and Save You Dollars 



We not only tan the hides you send us, but we have in 

 stock hides and skins from which we manufacture to 

 measure coats, robes, neckpieces, ladies' jackets, child- 

 ren's coats and fur goods of every description. We 

 make to order any kind of fur goods.
