PLATE IV. 



FIG. 1. GENERAL VIEW OF A PENNSYLVANIA TOWN, THE POPULATION OF WHICH 

 FOR MANY YEARS WAS ABOUT 600, BUT is NOW ONLY 40. 



The tannery, on which the prosperity of the town depended, is shown at the right of the picture. 



FIQ. 2. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE TANNERY, SHOWING MORE CLEARLY THE NUMBER OF 

 DWELLINGS BY WHICH IT WAS SURROUNDED. 



All of these buildings, like many others in the town, are now abandoned. Property values have 

 depreciated materially with the departure of the forests.
