"The art of making useful articles from leather is truly fascinating, and may
easily establish itself as a permanent interest with many persons. It offers
unlimited possibilities in the field of design and in
artistic self-expression.
It has
been found by those who do the work to be exceedingly practical. A moment's
thought will recall the fact that every man, woman, and child has need for and
used articles of leather in the common acctivities of daily life. What person
does not use a belt, a pocketbook, key case, handbag, or some other common
article made of leather?"
