Another Week of Our Gigantic Removal Sale
Selling Out the Entire “Alamo Installment Go.” Stock
We had a “wonderful sale” of goods last week—far beyond our expectations. But it proved to us that the public came in
response to our advertisements and found everything as represented and bought “The Best Values” they ever received for
their money—they told us so! The stock is reducing rapidly and we hope to have much less at the end of this week. We
have made up our minds to move to our new quarters “Stockless” so we may open our “New Store” with a “New Stock”
and a “New Air” and be ready to cater to your every want when the fall season opens. If you believe in “Economy,” your
time to buy is “This Week.” Every piece marked in plain figures—nothing but “Bargains.”

SCIENCE CUT COST OF TANNING
LEATHER IN HALF.
—
Offered $200,000, which ho refused,
for a process he has discovered that is
bound to cause an upheaval in the ta n
ning and heavy leather industry, an
unassuming and little known German
chemist of modest means is today going
about his daily tasks, indifferent to the
fact that his discovery is causing un
easiness and alarm among the masters
of the leather manufacturing world.
Adam Hoch hasn’t anything to sell
the leather trust or anybody else in the
leather business. He is au expert on
tanning, made so by thirty years’ close
attention to that* work. More than
twelve years ago he discovered a process
of tanning without hemlock bark far
cheaper than the present process. Not
only that, but by his method hides are
turned into high grade sole and belt
leather in fourteen days, whereas by
any known process today’ rhe best
leather workers can do is to obtain the
tame results in seven months. Further

more, experts admit that the hides tan
ned by this German chemist are supe
rior in quality to those tanned with
hemlock bark and treated for seven
months.
For seven years Hoch has been open
ating an experimental plant in the quiet
town of Red Rank, N. J., perfecting his
discovery. His process has been pass
ed upon to the satisfaction of the As
sociated Leather Trades of New York
state, and the leather trust from time
to time have made overtures to him to
adopt his process. But this wise Ger
man chemist, with the shrewdness of
his race, has deelined to enter into any
dealings with the combine. Several
months ago an offer came to him from
that source of $200,000 and a position
for the rest of his life, but it did not
appeal. Lately, it is understood, a far
more substantial offer has originated
from the same source.

mains a secret with him. AU that is
known about it is the- facts that it
does not require hemlock bark, the
most important fact in the tanning
trade, and the further faet that, owing
to the short period required to treat a
hide, his method will release the vast
sums tied up in hides for seven months,
while undergoing the process of being
made into sole leather and belting.
Hoch has proved in his experimental
Jersey tannery that with fifty men he
can tan 1000 hides a day, whereas at
the present time to accomplish the same
result a force of 600 men are necessary.
