A ii i TANNERIES and manufacturers of leather goods are overlooking a wonderful opportunity in St. Louis the logical center of the tan ning and leather industry. It is an economic waste to ship hides away from the hide center for tanning and then ship the finished leather back to this great market, paying costly freight charges both ways. Here are the facts: St. Louis is the largest hide market in the United States. It is the largest shoe market in the world. It is the greatest trunk market in the United States. It is the principal harness and saddlery market in the United States. An enormous quantity of leather is used annually by its indus tries. The output of shoes in St. Louis this year will total more than $175,000,000. The manufacture and sales of harness, sad dles, upholstery and sporting goods aggregate more millions each year. Notwithstanding this, most of the tanning and fin ishing of leather is done elsewhere, and the finished product must be shipped back to St. Louis to supply the enormous de mand of this market. Heretofore the tanning development has had bark as a determining fac tor, and the hides have moved to the tanning bark factory. With the growth of chrome tannage it is more economical to move the chrome to the hides.-1 Tanning extract now is made from bark and shipped to the tannery. About 90 of the leather in shoes, is chrome tanned. A multitude of springs in the Ozarks near St. Louis furnish millions of gallons of pure, clear water daily, which is available for tannery use. Wells drilled to a comparatively shallow depth vill provide water of desirable quality. The Mississippi River assures an inexhaustible supply for industrial and shipping purposes. Somebody is going to move his tannery to the hides and the Nation's market St. Louis instead of using the old costly method of shipping hides to distant tanneries. Are YOU interested? This is one of the fol lowing sixteen industries St. Louis is seeking: Shoe laces and findings Cotton spinning and textile mills Dye stuffs Steel and copper wire Machine tools and tool machinery Automobile accessories and parts Drop forge plants Tanneries and leather goods The booklet ."St. Louis as a Manufacturing Center" gives details that will interest you.

A Tannery Opportunity SEES UTILE HOPE FOR CHEAP BREAD Hoover Tolls Bakers Wheat Never Will Go Back to Pro-War Price EUROPE TO NEED SURPLUS Uprelat nhpnleh to Sventtio PuWe J,nor' Atlantic City, N. .1.. Sept. 21. Scnnt prospect of chcnpr bread for ft long time 'to come was held out by Herbert llnnvrr todnv in nn nddress upon tht farmer and the price of tho staff of life before the American Association of tne bnkinz industry. The administrator said that not for venrs. nosslblv never, will whent go back to Its pre-war price in relation to other food commodities. Mr. Hoover absolved the farmer from any responsibility for the present cost of baker's urcati. lie evotieu uiu X lilause of his auditors by declaring the industrv wnf one ot tne lew ngninsi which the breath of profiteering never had been raised. Incidentally, Mr. Hoover served no Hon iitinn thn rrrnt uhpnt buying In terests of Europe that they must for their own safety be prepared to paj America n fair-square price for wheat. Anv nttcmnt to tnke ndvnntnce of any temporary power to artificially reduce the price, he snld, would be equivalent to suicide. Analysis of the twelve-cent loaf In New York, Mo Hoover asserted, shows thnt 4. no cents goes for flour, 1.2.1 cents for other Ingredients; 4.10 cents for labor nnd overhead, .02 cents for profit to tho bnker nnd 1.75 cents to tho re tailer. The fact of the 4.30 cents per loaf set nslde under the head of flour, the farmer gets but three cents, should tend to dissipate, Mr. Hoover said, any WE DONT object to starting with small appropriations, brovided the four great elements of business men, money, merchandise and market are on a solid foundation.
