   as 
  many 
  thousands 
  of 
  users 
  of

  testified- 
  Pantasote 
  is 
  more 
  durable, 
  is 
  bright, 
  

   odorless, 
  easily 
  cleaned, 
  does 
  not 
  crack, 
  is 
  fire- 
  

   proof, 
  waterproof 
  and 
  wears 
  and 
  looks 
  like 
  leather 
  

   in 
  every 
  respect. 
  Outwears 
  most 
  leather

  costs 
  

   one-third 
  as
