It is evident that the tanning of skins on a commercial scale has been carried on in this country since the landing of the Pilgrams, however, before that time the aborigines chd have crude methods of tanning skins. This industry was first started on a commercial scale in the New England States, probably near Boston. It must be kept in mind that this deals principally with Lhe tanning of sheep skins for meter diaphragms. The methods discussed are used by one of the largest tanneries in the United States in which tanning has been carried on during the past ISO years which is evidence enough that ears of experience lies back of the industry. It has become a highly specialized profession by those who have the direct responsibility of converting the hides into leather. Many buildinKS are retiuired to house the various departments which constitutes such a tanning plant. The equipment required for the tanning processes is the latest design sjQd the most modern that the machinery manufacturers can huild.
