Excerpt from The Finishers' Manual: Containing the Receipts of an Expert for Finishing the Bottoms of Boots and Shoes, as Well as Other Valuable Information
In issuing this book to the trade we give to the reader the results of many years of practical and successful experiments. We have made the finishing of hemlock leather a thorough study and we take pleasure in commending to your consideration our various formulas which will give a clear, even finish on any kind of leather provided our directions are strictly carried out. Every shoe manufacturer or finisher knows the value of a clean, bright attractive finish on his goods. The formulas we offer have the thoroughly and successfully tested by the best known manufacturers and finishers in this country. The finisher will do well to remember that it is the individual skill of the workman in performing many apparently simple operations which renders those operations successful. When, therefore, a receipt is tried for the first time and is not thoroughly successful, the experimentalist should consider how far his own inexperience has contributed to the failure before he condemns the receipt.
