TESTIMONIALS 



Messrs. Vanner & Puest, 148, Ormside St., Hatcham, London, S.E. 



Gentlemen, — I have tried your oil, or mixture for softening leather, and rendering 

 it waterproof. With both h.nrness and boots its etfect has been most successful. I 

 tried it on a pair of boots I had in the Crimea, and which had become, from want of 

 use and old age, more like as if they were made of "iron" than of leather. They 

 are now soft and pliable, and could be worn with comfort. My coachman states the 

 etfect on the harness and on bridles is most beneficial. I have recommended it 

 should be tried in the Government stores. ARTHUR HERBERT, Colonel.

GentlEiMen, — I have given the sample of Dubbing which you were kind enough 

 to .«end on the 19th of Februarj'', a fair trial on Boots, Saddlery, and Harness, and 

 find it quite equal to j'our expectations. It makes all kinds of Leather beautifully 

 soft and flexible, and prevents it from cracking. In short, by an application or two, 

 old straps that have been lying past become like new. I have no hesitation in saying 

 I have not before seen an article of the kind which seems so fitted for its purpose, or 

 so likely to give general satisfaction. — I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your 

 obedient servant, U. REID, Captain, Adjutant 1st Depot Battalion.
