District Tales of Long Ago by QUILL
In early times tanneries supplied leather for harness saddles and footwear. Perry County’s Stoecklein tannery in New Lexington was notable. Adam Thompson ran a Chapel Hill tannery during Civil War days. Old tanning took six to seven months but produced quality leather, while Endicott New York once made green hides into shoes in 48 hours with acid tanning. Some Pennsylvania and West Virginia tanneries near hemlock and spruce forests still cling to the old method, though acid-tanned leather sells for less.
