Sumach Tannage and Moroccos in Early Industry
Messina's sumach export thrives in Sicilian goatskins, yielding a clear white tannage for durable dyed colors. Genuine Moroccos come from pure sumach, while babool or bark-dyed skins imitate them, with long wear exposing fakes. Roan leather is sumach-tanned sheep skin, and Moroccos' use shifts to automotive interiors. The Mexican Herald notes a proposed Mexico City grain elevator, as the current only elevator lies on the Contzacoatcos River near Santa Lucia Vera Cruz. European cherries arrive brined to dodge high fruit duties, then become Maraschino cherries.
